Where the Money Goes

Of the $647,615 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $316,854 (49%) — went to Tennessee candidates.

Operating share of spending compares operating spending with total spent.

Show formula

“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.
