Where the Money Goes
Of the $291,030 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $197,855 (68%) — went to activity outside Tennessee.
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).
- Spent outside Tennessee $197,855 68%
- To TN candidates $44,000 15%
- Operating & other $31,425 11%
- To other PACs $17,750 6.1%
“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.
