Where the Money Goes
Of the $1,571,586 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $1,397,078 (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: $13,058 ÷ Total spent: $1,571,586
| Operating / overhead spending | $13,058 |
| Contributions to candidates | $156,450 |
- Spent outside Tennessee $1,397,078 89%
- To TN candidates $156,450 10.0%
- Operating & other $13,058 0.8%
- To other PACs $5,000 0.3%
“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.
