Buffalo PAC
Registered Jan 2006 · Treasurer: Chris Garner · Nashville, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $4,100 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $1,750 (43%) — 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 | $1,400 |
| Contributions to candidates | $1,750 |
- To TN candidates $1,750 43%
- Operating & other $1,400 34%
- Spent outside Tennessee $950 23%
“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.
Contributions to Candidates
No contributions to tracked candidates on record.
This committee’s own filings report $1,750 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $1,750 difference, $1,750 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).
Its filing also reports $1,750 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:
- Nashville Black Chamber $1,250.00
- Naacp-Nash Branch $500.00
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.
