Where the Money Goes

Of the $506,952 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $491,602 (97%) — 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).

Operating spending: $550 ÷ Total spent: $506,952
Inputs behind Operating share of spending
Operating / overhead spending $550
Contributions to candidates $13,500

“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.

† Reported in this PAC’s own disbursement filing; the recipient’s receipt filing hasn’t itemized it yet.

This committee’s own filings report $13,500 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $7,750. Of the $5,750 difference, $4,750 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below) and $1,000 has not yet been itemized on tracked candidates’ own receipt filings (filing-cadence lag).

Its filing also reports $4,750 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:

  • Sargent, Jr., Charles $1,500.00
  • Whitson, Sam $1,250.00
  • Dean, Vince $1,000.00
  • Mannis, Eddie $1,000.00

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.
