Butler Snow PAC
Registered Jan 2004 · Treasurer: Paul Pratt · Ridgeland, MS
Where the Money Goes
Of the $14,000 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $7,000 (50%) — went to activity outside Tennessee.
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 | $0 |
| Contributions to candidates | $7,000 |
- Spent outside Tennessee $7,000 50%
- To TN candidates $7,000 50%
“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 $7,000 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $7,000 difference, $7,000 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).
Its filing also reports $7,000 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:
- Bredesen, Phil $2,500.00
- Ford, Harold $2,000.00
- Tinker, Nikki $1,000.00
- Peete, Rickey $1,000.00
- Mulroy, Steve $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.
