Itemized gifts from individuals: $763,433. From PACs and other political committees: $637,250.

What Joni Ernst's campaign committee reported to the Federal Election Commission for the current two-year cycle (FEC candidate S4IA00129). Campaigns report quarterly, so these totals trail by up to three months. Small gifts under $200 are not itemized, so individual giving is larger than the itemized figure. See the full filings at the FEC.
