Where the money comes from

Who gives to each campaign, and where those donors live, for this election (since 2025). Cash the state lists donor-by-donor.

Mike Frantz · Democrat

Who gives · this election (since 2025)

Individuals 98% ($13,502.81)PACs & committees 1% ($200.00)Other organizations <1% ($50.00)

Shares are of the $13,752.81 that donors gave this election (since 2025). Of the $200.00 from PACs and committees, $200.00 is from party committees.

Where they live · this election (since 2025)

In the district 56% ($7,764.20)ZIP crosses the district line 5% ($681.00)Elsewhere in Iowa 14% ($1,870.50)Iowa, ZIP not mapped 16% ($2,200.00)Outside Iowa 9% ($1,237.11)

Between 56% and 61% of the $13,752.81 whose donor listed an address came from inside the district (Senate District 3) 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. $2,200.00 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.

Shares are of the $53,923.80 that donors gave this election (since 2025). Of the $31,500.00 from PACs and committees, $29,750.00 is from PACs, $750.00 from party committees and $1,000.00 from committees whose type isn't in the filings we hold (they file no Iowa disclosure report of their own, so the state's records we have don't say whether they are a PAC, a party or a candidate).

Its filings report $55,398.80 raised in cash this election (since 2025), and $53,923.80 of that is listed donor-by-donor. The bars use the donor-by-donor part. Its newest report (filed 2026-07-19, $1,475.00 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 →

Not in the bars: $698.37 in donated goods and services this election (since 2025).

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.

Mike Frantz $91/day

$5,535.50 over 61 days · latest report

Lynn Evans $24/day

$1,475.00 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.
