“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.

Contributions to Candidates

No contributions to tracked candidates on record.

This committee’s own filings report $3,000 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $3,000 difference, $3,000 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).

Its filing also reports $3,000 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here:

  • Diane Black for Congress $1,500.00
  • Green (Senate), Mark E. $1,500.00

Tennessee caps what a PAC may give one candidate per election — $15,400 for statewide and House races, $30,800 for Senate races (2025–26 limits; a primary and a general count as separate elections). Registry of Election Finance limits.

Given in Other States

This committee sent $35,000 to 11 candidates and committees outside Tennessee, across 8 states. These are counted as spending outside Tennessee, not as Tennessee candidate support — Who Funds Tennessee doesn’t track out-of-state races, so they don’t link to a page here.
