Campaign fundraising and spending reports in Iowa’s congressional races are out, providing information about the financial angle of the four races, through September 30.
In Iowa’s fourth congressional district, Democrat Jim Mowrer raised just slightly more than Republican Congressman Steve King did in the first nine months of the year, but King had far more cash left in the bank on September 30. Mowrer had about a quarter of a million left, while King had three times as much.
In the third congressional district Democrat Staci Appel raises a tad bit more than Republican David Young did. On September 30, Appel had a slight edge in the amount of cash left in her campaign fund, plus Young has a quarter-of-a-million dollar loan left to pay off.
In the second congressional district, Democratic Congressman Dave Loebsack raised more than his Republican challenger Mariannette Miller-Meeks. Loebsack also had a cash-on-hand advantage approaching half a million dollars.
And in the first district race, Pat Murphy raised over a million through September 30th, while Republican Rob Blum raised not quite $900,000. Blum, though, had a slight cash-on-hand advantage of about $70,000 on September 30.
