Where the Money Goes
Of the $710,921 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $546,556 (77%) — went to activity outside Tennessee.
Why this number?
Operating share of spending compares operating spending with total spent.
Show formula
Operating / overhead spending divided by everything this committee spent (each expenditure lands in exactly one bucket).
| Operating / overhead spending | $91,164 |
| Contributions to candidates | $4,000 |
- Spent outside Tennessee $546,556 77%
- Operating & other $91,164 13%
- To other PACs $69,200 9.7%
- To TN candidates $4,000 0.6%
“Spent outside Tennessee” is money this committee sent out of state — a multi-state committee’s lump non-Tennessee line plus any individually-filed out-of-state contributions. Separate from out-of-state donors.
