Where the money comes from

Taylor Wettach

Who gives · this election (since 2023)

Individuals 81% ($569,807.33)PACs & committees 1% ($10,000.00)Other organizations 18% ($124,722.60)

Shares are of the $704,529.93 that donors gave this election (since 2023). Of the $10,000.00 from PACs and committees, $5,000.00 is from PACs and $5,000.00 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).

Where they live · this election (since 2023)

In Iowa 76% ($537,094.60)Outside Iowa 24% ($166,064.83)

76% of the $703,159.43 whose donor listed an address came from Iowa and 24% from other states, led by New York ($49,566.25) and California ($35,691.25).

Its filings report $976,656.18 raised in cash this election (since 2023), and $704,529.93 of that is listed donor-by-donor. The bars use the donor-by-donor part. Its newest report (filed 2026-07-20, $272,126.25 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 →

The second bar also leaves out $1,370.50 from donors with no usable address on the filing.

Biggest donors

Gage Kent $12,500.00

Lawrence Bay $10,000.00

David Barker $10,000.00

Method: itemized cash contributions (Schedule A, transaction type CON) since 2023, refunds netted, the committee's own account interest excluded. Each donor is placed by the state on the filing. 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.

Taylor Wettach $4,461/day

$272,126.25 over 61 days · latest report

Chris Cournoyer $2,374/day

$144,801.00 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. 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.

Candidates: Iowa Secretary of State 2026 general-election list. State cash on hand is each committee's latest state disclosure filing; federal cash is the FEC-reported figure for the candidate's registration for this office. A candidate who holds a registration only for a different office shows no figure rather than that other committee's balance. State and federal money are never combined in a single figure. Funding mix is current-cycle itemized contributions.
