$30,658
Why this number?

includes $19,290 in small gifts the filer reported as a lump sum
includes $700,708 in loans, offsets, and other receipts not itemized in FEC filings
$5,900 refunded
Why this number?

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).
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 →
The candidate’s own money made up 0.1% of the campaign’s funds — individuals gave 30%, organizations and PACs 18%, with 51% from other sources.
Candidate’s own money $532 · 0.1% Individuals (itemized) $416K · 30% Organizations & PACs $257K · 18% Small unitemized gifts $19K · 1% Other sources $708K · 51%
Why this number?
Everything the campaign raised, split into the candidate's own money (own contributions plus self- and family loans), itemized individuals, unitemized small donations, organizations and PACs, transfers from other committees (FEC line 12), and everything else (loans other than the candidate's, in-kind, offsets and other receipts). The parts add up to the total raised. The headline share is the candidate divided by the total.
From the candidate's own money: $532 ÷ Everything the campaign raised: $1,401,158
| Candidate's own money (incl. self-loans) | $532 |
| From individuals (itemized) | $416,240 |
| Unitemized small donations | $19,290 |
| From organizations and PACs | $257,450 |
| In-kind contributions (goods & services) | $6,938 |
| Offsets and other receipts | $700,708 |
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 →
63% of located dollars came from within Tennessee (37% from out of state).
Tennessee $423,940 Out of state $249,750

- Knoxville $55K8%
- Cleveland $49K7%
- Signal Mountain $35K5%
- Elsewhere in Tennessee $167K
- Other out-of-state $162K
Why this number?
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).
