Where the Money Goes

Of the $144,112 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $73,437 (51%) — went to operating costs and overhead.

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: $73,437 ÷ Total spent: $144,112
Inputs behind Operating share of spending
Operating / overhead spending $73,437
Contributions to candidates $68,225

“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.
