Individuals 94% ($22,539.00)PACs & committees 6% ($1,450.00)

Shares are of the $23,989.00 that donors gave this election (since 2025).

Where they live · this election (since 2025)

ZIP crosses the district line 58% ($13,905.00)Elsewhere in Iowa 28% ($6,635.00)Iowa, ZIP not mapped 6% ($1,374.00)Outside Iowa 9% ($2,075.00)

Between 0% and 58% of the $23,989.00 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (Senate District 25) this election (since 2025). It's a range because donor addresses are placed by ZIP code, and some ZIP codes cross the district line.

91% came from somewhere in Iowa and 9% from outside the state. $1,374.00 of the Iowa money has a ZIP code with no area on the map (a post office box, for example), so it can't be placed in or out of the district.

Its filings report $41,784.00 raised in cash this election (since 2025), and $23,989.00 of that is listed donor-by-donor. The bars use the donor-by-donor part. Its newest report (filed 2026-07-17, $17,795.00 raised, for the period ending 2026-07-14) is not yet in the donor-by-donor rows we hold, so the bars stop at the report before it. · full record →

Method: itemized cash contributions (Schedule A, transaction type CON) since 2025-01-01, refunds netted, the committee's own account interest excluded. Each donor is placed by the state and 5-digit ZIP code on the filing. A ZIP code counts as in the district when at least 98% of its Iowa land area (Census ZCTA) falls inside it, as crossing the line when between 2% and 98% does, and as elsewhere in Iowa otherwise. Iowa ZIP codes with no Census area (post office boxes) are shown on their own. In-kind support and loans are never in either bar.

Fundraising rate

New money raised per day of each candidate's latest report — the pace of fundraising, comparable even when reports cover spans of different length. The small bars trace how that pace moved across recent reports.

Herman C Quirmbach $292/day

$17,795.00 over 61 days · latest report

Rate = money raised ÷ days the report covers. ("Money raised" is the report's cash-contribution line — Schedule A.) Faded bars are earlier reports' rates; the solid bar is the latest. State committees only. A period's total can arrive as one large check or many small gifts — the rate can't tell them apart; a committee's donation page breaks its money down by gift size.
