Butler Snow PAC
Registered Jan 2004 · Treasurer: Paul Pratt · Ridgeland, MS
Where the Money Goes
Of the $131,750 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $67,700 (51%) — went to operating costs and overhead.
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 | $67,700 |
| Contributions to candidates | $51,050 |
- Operating & other $67,700 51%
- To TN candidates $51,050 39%
- Spent outside Tennessee $8,500 6.5%
- To other PACs $4,500 3.4%
“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.
