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 →

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 filings listed below.

Show formula

The ending cash balance the campaign reported on its most recent filing (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. 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.

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).

Itemized money from outside Tennessee: $500 ÷ Raised incl. in-kind: $45,961

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 63% of the campaign’s funds — individuals gave 8%, organizations and PACs 29%.

Candidate’s own money $29K · 63% Individuals $4K · 8% Organizations & PACs $13K · 29%
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: $28,926 ÷ Everything the campaign raised: $45,961
Inputs behind Share from the candidate
Candidate's own money (incl. self-loans) $28,926
From individuals $3,885
From organizations and PACs $13,150

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 →

97% of located dollars came from within Tennessee (3% from out of state).

Tennessee $15,600 Out of state $500
  • Nashville $11K70%
  • Memphis $2K14%
  • Sparta $1K6%
  • Elsewhere in Tennessee $1K
  • Other out-of-state $500
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).

Itemized money from outside Tennessee: $500 ÷ Itemized money with a known state: $16,100
Inputs behind Out-of-state share of located dollars
From outside Tennessee $500
