(snip)A young Republican candidate seeking a legislative seat in the heart of Des Moines mustered more donations over the past five months than the Democratic favorite, campaign finance records show.
Republican Jack Whitver, 26, a businessman and former Iowa State University football player, collected $6,285 between May 19 and Oct. 19, while Democrat Ako Abdul-Samad, 55, raised $5,010 during the same time period.
The candidates are vying to represent Iowa House District 66, which includes downtown, Sherman Hill, King-Irving Park, River Bend, Capitol Park and some of the south side.(/snip)
