Where the Money Goes
Of the $843,648 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $619,100 (73%) — 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 spending: $10,678 ÷ Total spent: $843,648
| Operating / overhead spending | $10,678 |
| Contributions to candidates | $619,100 |
- To TN candidates $619,100 73%
- To other PACs $205,120 24%
- Operating & other $10,678 1.3%
- Spent outside Tennessee $8,750 1.0%
“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.
