Where the Money Goes
Of the $66,040 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $46,250 (70%) — went to Tennessee candidates.
Why this number?
Operating / overhead spending divided by everything this committee spent (each expenditure lands in exactly one bucket).
| Operating / overhead spending | $0 |

- To TN candidates $46,250 70%
- Spent outside Tennessee $17,290 26%

“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.
