Blaine Watkins

During the Iowa house representative special election in 2025, Watkins was notably funded by the Republican Party of Iowa ($73,000), the Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity Organization ($69,000), and the socially conservative group, The FAMiLY Leader. ($10,500). In total, Watkins was provided over $150,000 in financial support for this election.^[3] The support of these organizations was noted on Watkin's candidate website (blainwatkinsforiowa.com), which has been taken down since the election.

In contrast, Democratic candidate Nanette Griffin^[4] received just over $36,000 from the Iowa Democratic Party, and no other financial support from outside groups. Despite Griffin's lack of financial support, the election was extremely close, with Watkins narrowly beating Griffin (51.5% to 48.2%).^[3]
