would $360 buy your vote

Here is the Iowa political spend breakout. It is simple math.

Media dollars spent $259,000,000

Registered republican voters 718,901

Total dollar spent per republican voter $360


Spending by candidate

#1 Haley 88.61 million

#2 DeSantis 80.82 million

#3 Trump 71.92 million
