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).
| From outside Tennessee | $11,500 |
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 →
Individuals gave 42%; organizations and PACs gave 37%; other sources made up 20%.
Why this number?
Share from individuals compares from individuals 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 individuals divided by the total.
| From individuals | $57,470 |
| From organizations and PACs | $50,700 |
| In-kind contributions (goods & services) | $27,655 |
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. A donor named on the page can still sit in a small bucket — these are cycle totals, not “unnamed donors.” Full definition →
Why this number?
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).
| Total from individual donors | $46,665 |
| Median gift | $500 |
| Individual donors | 74 |
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 →
88% of located dollars came from within Tennessee (12% from out of state).
- Nashville $36K37%
- Sparta $11K11%
- Washington, DC $10K10%
- Shelbyville $6K6%
- Cleveland $6K6%
- Elsewhere in Tennessee $27K
- Other out-of-state $2K
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).
| From outside Tennessee | $11,500 |

Loans
$2,000.00 in loan principal shown. $0.00 was borrowed in this campaign; $2,000.00 was carried into these filings from an earlier period. Later reports can repeat an outstanding loan, so each reconstructed lender balance is counted once below.
Why this number?
Loan principal shown adds together the amounts listed below.
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.
| Candidate and family loans | $2,000 |
| Loan principal shown | $2,000 |
| Lender | Type | Received | Principal | Repaid | Outstanding |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Self (Ty Cobb) | Candidate loan | Jul 9, 2009 | $2,000.00 | $2,000.00 | $0.00 |
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 Ty Cobb’s itemized spending. Descriptions that don’t clearly fit a category are counted under Other rather than guessed at.
- Printing & mail $45,581 46%
- Contributions & donations $13,946 14%
- Other $13,144 13%
- Field & voter contact $8,843 9%
- Advertising & media $6,098 6%
- Consulting & professional services $4,000 4%
- Fundraising & events $3,490 4%
- Travel $2,379 2%
- Office & operations $807 0.9%
Loans
| Lender | Amount | Date Received | Outstanding | Repaid |
|---|
Of the $2,000 lent, $0 was borrowed during the filings shown here. The other $2,000 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.
