Why this number?
Funds Raised The money the campaign took in — cash and checks, plus the candidate’s own money, loans, and transfers from affiliated committees. It does not include the value of donated goods and services; where a campaign received any, that is shown separately as In-Kind Received. Full definition →

Why this number?

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

Reported on this filing:

Sum of every cash receipt bucket: itemized contributions from others + the candidate's own contributions + loans + filer-stated unitemized + (federal) transfers and other receipts.

Inputs behind Funds raised
Itemized contributions from others $5,500
Loans received $12,768
Funds raised $18,268
From each filing: Not attributable to a single filing:
Loans $12,768 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.

Source filings:

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 70% of the campaign’s funds — individuals gave 3%, organizations and PACs 27%.

Candidate’s own money $13K · 70% Individuals $500 · 3% Organizations & PACs $5K · 27%
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: $12,768 ÷ Everything the campaign raised: $18,268
Inputs behind Share from the candidate
Candidate's own money (incl. self-loans) $12,768

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 →

100% of located dollars came from within Tennessee (0% from out of state).

Tennessee $5,500 Out of state $0
  • Chattanooga $5K91%
  • Memphis $5009%
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).

Itemized money from outside Tennessee: $0 ÷ Itemized money with a known state: $5,500
Inputs behind Out-of-state share of located dollars
From outside Tennessee $0
