Where the Money Goes
Of the $172,625 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $139,900 (81%) — went to Tennessee candidates.
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 | $700 |
| Contributions to candidates | $139,900 |
- To TN candidates $139,900 81%
- To other PACs $31,025 18%
- Spent outside Tennessee $1,000 0.6%
- Operating & other $700 0.4%
“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 (itemized below). Separate from out-of-state donors.
