Where the Money Goes

Of the $340,595 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $340,595 (100%) — went to operating costs and overhead. Operating costs consumed 100% of everything it spent; none of it reached Tennessee candidates as direct contributions.

Why this number?

Operating share of spending compares operating spending with total spent.
