Adams and Reese TN PAC
Registered Oct 2005 · Treasurer: Jeffrey B Brooks · Nashville, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $68,036 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $58,000 (85%) — 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 | $36 |
| Contributions to candidates | $58,000 |
- To TN candidates $58,000 85%
- Spent outside Tennessee $5,000 7.3%
- To other PACs $5,000 7.3%
- Operating & other $36 0.1%
“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.
