The first quarter fundraising numbers are out for Iowa’s federal representatives. The top fundraiser for the Democrats was Congressman Leonard Boswell, while Congressman Steve King set the pace for Republicans.

Every Democrat collected more money from PACs than Republicans did. Congressman Boswell took over $110,000 from PACs alone, which is more money than King, Latham, Loebsack, and Harkin raised for each of their campaigns for the period.

Congressman King has maintained his strong fundraising pace from last cycle when he eclipsed the million dollar mark for the first time. The current political environment also favors King as he is the most outspoken member on the delegation on the issues of same-sex marriage and tax reform. King’s newly found fundraising prowess, combined with his ability to motivate activists, make for a formidable combination.
