DAVENPORT, IOWA (September 25, 2026) — Today, the Bridgford for Iowa campaign announced the official debut of IowaIsNotForSale.com, a new public resource designed to give voters in Iowa’s First Congressional District full transparency into the financial backings of their political candidates.
As voters prepare for the upcoming election, Iowa is Not for Sale serves as a centralized clearinghouse dissecting campaign finance reports, political action committee (PAC) funding, and notable high-profile donor connections across the field.
Key Features of the Platform:
- Comprehensive Candidate Breakdown: An side-by-side comparative analysis of all three candidates vying to represent Iowa’s First Congressional District, examining their primary funding sources and corporate affiliations.
- Special Interest and PAC Money Tracker: Clear visualizations showing where campaign dollars originate, distinguishing between grass-roots small-dollar contributions and out-of-state special interest groups.
- High-Profile and Controversial Donor Disclosures: Direct tracking of controversial donor networks, including specific documentation regarding ties to individuals named in the Jeffrey Epstein court documents and investigative filings.
Key Financial Disclosures Highlighted on the Site:
- Christina Bohannan: The platform highlights Bohannan’s financial backing from national Democratic leadership committees, out-of-state corporate interest groups, and major coastal political action committees, detailing the extent to which her campaign relies on non-local institutional funding.
- Mariannette Miller-Meeks: The site indexes financial contributions and affiliated political committee donations tied to individuals and entities surfaced in the unsealed Epstein files, along with funding received from corporate PACs, defense contractors, and major pharmaceutical interests.
“Voters deserve to know exactly who is funding the campaigns asking for their vote,” said the Bridgford campaign in a statement launching the site.
“Iowa is Not for Sale pulls back the curtain on special interest influence, corporate PAC money, and controversial funding networks so Iowans can make an informed choice at the ballot box.”
Independent Candidate Michael Bridgford said: “The two major party candidates in this race are cut from the same cloth — both bankrolled by the same special interests, both playing by the same broken rules.
“While they rake in millions, Iowans are struggling to pay their bills,”
The website is live and fully accessible to the public at IowaIsNotForSale.com.
