The polling

No public head-to-head polling yet for this race — statewide-office and down-ballot congressional contests are rarely polled this far out. Where a poll appears, it will show here and on the polling average.

Where the money comes from

Roby Smith

Who gives · this election (since 2023)

Individuals 88% ($206,006.36)PACs & committees 12% ($28,000.00)

Shares are of the $234,006.36 that donors gave this election (since 2023). Of the $28,000.00 from PACs and committees, $24,500.00 is from PACs and $3,500.00 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 87% ($203,386.36)Outside Iowa 13% ($30,600.00)

87% of the $233,986.36 whose donor listed an address came from Iowa and 13% from other states, led by Illinois ($25,000.00) and Wisconsin ($3,500.00).

Its filings report $385,861.69 raised in cash this election (since 2023), and $236,701.18 of that is listed donor-by-donor. The bars use the donor-by-donor part. Its newest report (filed 2026-07-20, $149,160.51 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: $2,694.82 in interest earned on the campaign's own bank accounts (inside the cash total, but income, not a gift) and $129.62 in donated goods and services this election (since 2023). The second bar also leaves out $20.00 from donors with no usable address on the filing.

Biggest donors

Edward Friedmann $7,000.00

Michael Simonson $5,000.00

keith whipple $3,000.00

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.

Roby Smith $2,445/day

$149,160.51 over 61 days · latest report

John Norwood $921/day

$56,194.53 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.
