Assn Builders Contractors East TN Chapter
Where the Money Goes
Of the $3,565 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $1,115 (31%) — went to operating costs and overhead.
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 & other $1,115 31%
- To TN candidates $1,050 29%
- Spent outside Tennessee $1,000 28%
- To other PACs $400 11%
“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.
