2020 Tennessee House, District 08

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 → · 9 filings · Mid-Year 2019–Year-End 2020

Ended With What was left in the campaign’s account when its reporting closed — the ending balance on its final report for this race. It is a leftover, not a war chest: money still to be spent, refunded, given away, or carried into the next campaign. Full definition →
$778
as of the Year-End report
Why this number?
Raised (cash) Cash and cash-like receipts the campaign took in: contributions, the candidate’s own money, loans, and transfers from affiliated committees. Donated goods and services are not cash; they appear separately as In-Kind Received. Bookkeeping entries such as a carried balance, accounting adjustment, or refund also stay only in the filing’s own totals. Full definition →
$64,931
includes $27,645 in small gifts the filer reported as a lump sum
Why this number?
In-Kind Received Goods or services donated to the campaign instead of cash — say, free printing or donated consulting — reported at fair-market value. Counted toward the same $200 disclosure threshold as cash gifts. Full definition →

Why this number?
Spent of Cash Raised How much of the cash this campaign took in it went on to spend, measured now that its reporting has closed. Above 100% means it spent more than it raised for this race, drawing on money it already had when the cycle opened. Full definition →

Cash on hand is the amount reported on the filing listed below.

Show formula

The ending cash balance the campaign reported on its most recent filing (as filed, not computed). Note: 2 filings covering periods that end on the same day state different ending balances — Year-End 2020 states $777.70, Q4 2020 states $1,663.05. The figure shown is Year-End 2020's; the reports have not been reconciled against each other.

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 the value of donated goods & services, shown separately as In-Kind Received. Note: a separate cross-filing check found a loan-balance carryforward discontinuity in the filings behind this figure. The reports have not been reconciled to determine the cause of the unexplained balance change.

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 5% of the campaign’s funds — individuals gave 90%, organizations and PACs 4%, with 1% from other sources.

Candidate’s own money $3K · 5% Individuals $59K · 90% Organizations & PACs $3K · 4% Other sources $946 · 1%
Why this number?

Share from the candidate compares from the candidate's own money 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 the candidate divided by the total.

From the candidate's own money: $3,169 ÷ Everything the campaign raised: $65,877
Inputs behind Share from the candidate

Gift size Each individual donor’s total giving to this campaign this cycle. Organizations, PACs, and the candidate’s own money are excluded (this is about people); a donor who gave under several name spellings is counted once.

Average gift per individual donor compares total from individual donors with individual donors.

Show formula

Every individual donor's total contributions to this campaign, divided by the number of individual donors. Organizations and PACs are excluded (this measures people); a donor who gave under several name spellings is counted once. The median and the gift-size buckets are computed over the same individual-donor totals. Based on itemized contributions only (loans and money a filer reported as an unitemized lump sum are not included).

Loans

$3,169.00 in loan principal shown. The filings date all of it to this campaign. Later reports can repeat an outstanding loan, so each reconstructed lender balance is counted once below.

Why this number?

Show formula

Loan schedules can repeat an outstanding debt on later reports. This is the reconstructed principal for each lender, counted once, split between candidate or family loans and all other lenders. Repayments and outstanding balances are shown separately in the ledger.
