Reported on this filing:
  • Q2 2026 Initial $110,003 filing-stated

Inputs behind Funds raised
Itemized contributions (gross) $37,470
Loans $3,071
Funds raised $40,541
From each filing: Not attributable to a single filing:
Loans $3,071 derived

Filings restate outstanding loans each period, so a loan belongs to the campaign rather than to any one filing.

Itemized expenditure rows plus the stated spending a filer reported as a lump sum without itemizing it.

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 8% of the campaign’s funds — individuals gave 0.5%, organizations and PACs 92%.

Candidate’s own money $3K · 8% Individuals $200 · 0.5% Organizations & PACs $37K · 92%
Why this number?

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: $3,071 ÷ Everything the campaign raised: $40,541
Inputs behind Share from the candidate
Candidate's own money (incl. self-loans) $3,071
From individuals $200
From organizations and PACs $37,270

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 →

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

  • Brentwood $4K9%
  • Memphis $3K8%
  • Chattanooga $3K7%

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).
