Too many Iowans are living pay check to pay check, making impossible choices because of their financial realities. It’s the mom making the impossible choice, do I pay my utility bill or buy my child a winter coat. The Dad, do I put food on the table for my family, or pay the rent. The daughter, do I care for my aging parent or go to work and earn a paycheck. No one should have to make these kinds of choices. DC politicians are turning a blind eye to challenges that hard working families face in our state. Instead of fighting for us, they are more concerned with their billionaire donors, and the predatory corporations that care more about their bottom line than the person behind it.
No one in the United States should have to face bankruptcy because of a healthcare emergency. No one in our country should have to ration life saving medication because of high costs and deductibles, or travel hundreds of miles to receive quality care. As Iowa cancer rates increase and rural healthcare faces incredible financial strain, we need urgent policy changes.
Washington is riddled with corruption and greed. Our system of government has been rigged for billionaires and large corporations which seek only to expand their bottom line. Money in politics has led to toxic partisanship which seeks to divide us, distract us, and to keep us down. In order to create a healthier system, we have to get money out of politics.
As a mother, I want my children and community to always be safe. But what is happening in America today is not making our communities safer. Congress has clearly failed on both immigration reform, and gun safety reform. We need new leadership who will move common sense policies forward to make sure that our country is safe and free.
As a working mom of two teenagers, I know what parents and kids are going through and it’s tough. Our kids are dealing with an education system that has been systemically underfunded, and Iowa is dealing with a Private School Voucher scheme designed to benefit the most fortunate amongst us. Education is the ultimate equalizer in our country. The government should make sure it stays that way. To fuel American innovation, our public education system must be robust, challenging, and state of the art. Congress has failed and we are letting our kids fall behind countries around the world.
Iowa wouldn’t be Iowa without our farmers. I will always stand with the farmers— the stewards of our land, the hands that feed the people of the world, and the legacy of our state. Iowa farmers have had to fight through economic downturns, unpredictable markets, and rising costs. Our farmers cannot wait another decade to pass a new farm bill. They need leaders who will stand with them in the fight for their markets and their pocket books.
With the rise of social media and AI – it’s never been scarier to be a parent. I consistently hear from parents at PTO meetings or on the campaign trail who are worried about keeping their kids safe and healthy. I understand and I am too. It's time for Congress to put control of kids screens back in the hands of parents, not big tech.
Veterans deserve to be able to build the life they know they deserve when they return home. But with the cost of living crisis, rising healthcare costs, and lack of affordable housing, they are forced to make impossible decisions. It's time to stand alongside our veterans and remove the barriers in their way.

A further $112,516 came from donors whose answer names no employer (Information requested, N/A, None, blank), so it is not ranked. Ranked from the largest 200 of 201 employer spellings filed; each share is of the money in those. Itemized gifts over $200, grouped by the words donors filed: not an industry classification, and a gift from an employee is not a gift from the employer. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($537,632) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.

Money groups spent on their own, not through a campaign. Each ad is filed against the candidate it names, so money attacking an opponent shows on the opponent’s row. Open a candidate to see who spent it.
Support and oppose are each group’s own labels, not a judgment made here.

Independent expenditures (Schedule E) only. Electioneering communications and corporate or union member communications file separately; they are counted for Jamesunder “Other outside spending” in the full finance detail, but not for the rest of the field, so every other row is a floor.

Every itemized payment the committee reported this cycle, sorted by what it said each one was for. The categories are ours; the wording they are matched against is the committee’s own. Open a category to read the filed descriptions and who was paid. FEC filings through Oct 14, 2026.
All 745 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
23 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $43,253 in all, are counted under the payee and purpose they name rather than under the processor that was paid. The total is the same either way.

A further $50,657 came from donors whose answer names no occupation (Information requested, N/A, None, blank), so it is not ranked. Ranked from the largest 200 of 201 occupation spellings filed; each share is of the money in those. Itemized gifts over $200, grouped by the words donors filed: not an industry classification, and a gift from an employee is not a gift from the employer. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($537,632) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
