“The Republican Party of Iowa is a grassroots-driven vehicle to elect Republicans who have won their primaries. It’s also the role of the state central committee and delegates to translate our party’s goals, core beliefs, and issues into a statewide platform and to expand our Republican base without sacrificing our principles.
We firmly believe that we must expand the base of the party. This is a long-term effort that must occur year-round, not just during election seasons. Under our leadership, the party will work to earn every vote in this state by sharing a positive vision of economic opportunity for every Iowan through high quality schools, a business climate that encourages growth through high-paying jobs to support families, and the security Iowans need to live healthy, happy and productive lives.”

Each part reads different filings, so counts and totals can differ.
Direct PAC contributions and independent expenditures explicitly reported as support, by the party of the candidate they went to.
No candidate-directed contributions or explicitly supportive independent expenditures were returned.
Contributions are reported money, not endorsements; a PAC giving to both parties is common.
Every contribution on line 23 of the committee’s own Schedule B, which is the filing its summary totals are built from. That line covers federal candidates, party committees and other political committees alike, so a super PAC funding other super PACs appears here rather than under candidate giving.
No contributions itemized
Nothing loaded
Candidate contribution rows come from candidate committee Schedule A filings, the same rows the party chart above counts.
Money moving between this committee and other committees, matched on FEC committee ID rather than the name each filing was typed under. Both sides exclude memo entries. The figures here count each committee once, from the itemized transfers read for this section, so they will not match the payment counts under Who this PAC gave to.

By the state each contributor wrote on the filing. The FEC aggregates every Schedule A line together, so one committee or organization transfer can account for a whole state. Contributors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized and cannot be placed on a map. 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 ($104,855) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
