Where the Money Goes
Of the $2,046,243 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $1,826,933 (89%) — 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 spending: $137,770 ÷ Total spent: $2,046,243
| Operating / overhead spending | $137,770 |
| Contributions to candidates | $27,950 |
- Spent outside Tennessee $1,826,933 89%
- Operating & other $137,770 6.7%
- To other PACs $53,590 2.6%
- To TN candidates $27,950 1.4%
“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.
Contributions to Candidates
No contributions to tracked candidates on record.
This committee’s own filings report $27,950 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $27,950 difference, $27,950 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).

- McWherter, Michael $5,000.00
- Eldridge, Jimmy $4,000.00
