Iowa Governor Race Funds Surge | Des Moines News

Iowa’s gubernatorial race is heating up with record fundraising numbers—Democrat Rob Sand leads with nearly $9.4 million in the latest haul, bringing his total to a staggering $37.8 million, while Republican Zach Lahn follows with over $6.3 million, including $2.5 million from his own pocket. Sand’s campaign boasts 33,000 small donations and big support from Democrats and even some Republicans, plus major contributions from the Democratic Governors Association and local business leaders. Lahn’s funding comes largely from GOP powerhouses like former Governor Terry Branstad and the Republican Party of Iowa. With Sand holding over $17.9 million in cash and Lahn just over $1 million, the financial gap could shape the next phase of campaigning as both candidates gear up for a fierce general election battle.
