Money given to Samy El-Baroudi’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.
$18,340raised in 2023–24, through Jun 30, 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.
