Where the Money Goes
Of the $1,785,956 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $1,782,706 (99.8%) — went to activity outside Tennessee.
Why this number?
Operating / overhead spending divided by everything this committee spent (each expenditure lands in exactly one bucket).
| Operating / overhead spending | $0 |
| Contributions to candidates | $1,000 |
- Spent outside Tennessee $1,782,706 99.8%
- To other PACs $2,250 0.1%
- To TN candidates $1,000 0.1%
“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. Separate from out-of-state donors.
