Campaign money

Who funds their campaign

Money given to Herman Quirmbach’s campaign for the Iowa Senate, from reports it files with the state. It doesn’t include money raised for any other race, such as a run for Congress, which is reported to the Federal Election Commission instead. We show totals; we don’t name individual donors.

$23,253raised in 2023–24, through Oct 22, 2024

This Senate seat wasn’t on the 2024 ballot. Senators serve four-year terms, and this one is next up in 2026, so there was little to raise for.
