More than $22 million was raised for the Iowa Senate race in 2022. This was split fairly evenly between the Republican and Democrat parties.
What’s known as “dark money,” which comes from political non-profits and shell corporations, has greatly increased expenditures and donations in recent elections to record-breaking highs.
Donations made to political groups or candidates must be disclosed under state law for greater transparency in elections.
Disclosures of political contributions can be unclear or murky due to gaps in information and misreporting.
