Individuals 50% ($286,018.12)PACs & committees 44% ($248,450.00)Other organizations 6% ($33,249.62)

Shares are of the $567,717.74 that donors gave this election (since 2023). Of the $248,450.00 from PACs and committees, $45,950.00 is from PACs, $500.00 from party committees and $202,000.00 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 60% ($342,296.25)Outside Iowa 40% ($225,421.49)

Its filings report $750,091.91 raised in cash this election (since 2023), and $570,890.28 of that is listed donor-by-donor. The bars use the donor-by-donor part. Its newest report (filed 2026-07-20, $179,201.63 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: $3,172.54 in interest earned on the campaign's own bank accounts (inside the cash total, but income, not a gift) and $7,700.86 in donated goods and services this election (since 2023).

Biggest donors

Tony Singh $11,000.00

Neal Cardwell $7,000.00

Linda Johnson $2,000.00

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.

Mike Naig $2,938/day

$179,201.63 over 61 days · latest report

Chris Jones $1,809/day

$110,350.61 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.
