Bo Watson — 2014 Tennessee Senate, District 11 campaign
2014 Tennessee Senate, District 11
Final This campaign’s election cycle is closed — no further reports for it are due, so these totals are settled rather than mid-race. They cover every filing we hold for the campaign; if the source archive later adds one, we load it. Full definition → · 12 filings · Mid-Year 2011–Q4 2014

Cash on hand is the amount reported on the filings listed below.
Show formula
The ending cash balances the campaign's 2 committees each reported on their most recent filing, added together (each as filed, not computed).
Raised (cash) adds together the amounts listed below.
Show formula
Sum of every cash receipt bucket: itemized contributions from others + the candidate's own contributions + loans + filer-stated unitemized + (federal) transfers and other receipts. Excludes $260.80 the filer reported on Schedule A as a refund or reimbursement — money paid back to the committee, not money it raised, so it is not counted here. It remains in the filing's own totals.

Out-of-state share compares itemized money from outside tennessee with raised incl. in-kind.
Show formula
Itemized contributions from a state other than Tennessee, divided by everything the campaign raised (shown only when the state of most itemized money is known — above 99% coverage).
| From outside Tennessee | $40,750 |
Who funds this campaign The sources split breaks down everything the campaign raised: the candidate’s own money (including self-loans), individuals (including unitemized small gifts), organizations and PACs, and “other” (in-kind contributions, loans other than the candidate’s, and the like) — open its “Why this number?” for the full breakdown. Gift-size and location figures cover itemized contributions only. Aggregates count everyone who gave, including donors below the $200 disclosure floor — a share across all donors identifies no one. Full definition →
Individuals gave 38%; organizations and PACs gave 62%.
Why this number?
Share from individuals compares from individuals with everything the campaign raised.
Show formula
Everything the campaign raised, split into the candidate's own money (own contributions plus self- and family loans), individuals, organizations and PACs, and everything else — loans other than the candidate's, in-kind contributions, and (for federal filers) committee transfers and other receipts. Unitemized small donations count as individual money. The parts add up to the total raised. The headline share is individuals divided by the total.
| From individuals | $108,391 |
| From organizations and PACs | $176,581 |
Where the money comes from Shares of itemized dollars, by the contributor’s state and city as filed. A city is named only when at least 5 donors gave from it or it holds at least 5% of the located dollars; everyone else is grouped into “elsewhere.” Shown only when at least 80% of dollars carry a usable state. Full definition →
86% of located dollars came from within Tennessee (14% from out of state).
- Nashville $92K32%
- Chattanooga $41K14%
- Chatt $12K4%
- Signal Mountain $9K3%
- Ooltewah $9K3%
- Elsewhere in Tennessee $82K
- Other out-of-state $41K
Why this number?
Out-of-state share of located dollars compares itemized money from outside tennessee with itemized money with a known state.
Show formula
Itemized contribution dollars from outside Tennessee, divided by all itemized dollars whose contributor state is known. A city is named only when at least 5 donors gave from it OR it holds at least 5% of the located dollars; everyone else is grouped into elsewhere-in-Tennessee and other-out-of-state. Shown only above 99% state coverage. Based on itemized contributions only (loans and money a filer reported as an unitemized lump sum are not included).
| From outside Tennessee | $40,750 |
