David Volkert Assoc INC Holding Co PAC
Registered Feb 2001 · Treasurer: Michael I. Sampson · Mobile, AL
Where the Money Goes
Of the $54,740 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $44,640 (82%) — 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 | $10,100 |
- Spent outside Tennessee $44,640 82%
- To TN candidates $10,100 18%
“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.
