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.
