CAM PAC (Cameron Sexton)
Registered Jun 2013 · Treasurer: Mark Elmore · Nashville, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $221,279 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $174,279 (79%) — 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).

- Spent outside Tennessee $5,000 2.3%
“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.
