Brotherhood of Locomotive Eng and Trainmen PAC Fund
Registered Jan 1990 · Treasurer: David P. Estes · Independence, OH
Where the Money Goes
Of the $2,987 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $1,500 (50%) — 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 | $150 |
| Contributions to candidates | $1,500 |
- To TN candidates $1,500 50%
- Spent outside Tennessee $1,337 45%
- Operating & other $150 5.0%
“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.
