Where the Money Goes
Of the $9,343 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $7,250 (78%) — went to Tennessee candidates.
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 / overhead spending | $1,870 |
| Contributions to candidates | $7,250 |
- To TN candidates $7,250 78%
- Operating & other $1,870 20%
- Spent outside Tennessee $223 2.4%
“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.
