The ending cash balance the campaign reported on its most recent filing (as filed, not computed).

Reported on this filing:
  • YE 2018 YEAR-END $29,634 filing-stated

Sum of every cash receipt bucket: itemized contributions from others + the candidate's own contributions + loans + filer-stated unitemized + (federal) transfers and other receipts. 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 14% of the campaign’s funds — individuals gave 9%, organizations and PACs 3%, with 74% from other sources.

Candidate’s own money $787K · 14% Individuals (itemized) $510K · 9% Organizations & PACs $183K · 3% Other sources $4.3M · 74%
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.

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.

79% of located dollars came from within Tennessee (21% from out of state).

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).

Where the money went Each expenditure carries a short description of what it was for, written by the campaign. We sort those descriptions into a fixed set of categories; one expenditure goes in one category, so the amounts add up to John Rose’s itemized spending. Descriptions that don’t clearly fit a category are counted under Other rather than guessed at.

Loans

Campaign loans
Lender Amount Date Received Outstanding Repaid

Of the $4,281,635 lent, $2,531,635 was borrowed during the filings shown here. The other $1,750,000 was drawn before them and is still listed because it has not been fully repaid — so it counts as debt this campaign owes, not as money it raised.

Each loan shows its balance as of the candidate's most recent filing; repayments since then appear when the next report is filed.
