Where the Money Goes
Of the $102,796 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $101,405 (99%) — went to operating costs and overhead. Operating costs consumed 99% of everything it spent; $325 went to Tennessee candidates.
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 | $101,405 |
| Contributions to candidates | $325 |
- Operating & other $101,405 99%
- To other PACs $999 1.0%
- To TN candidates $325 0.3%
- Spent outside Tennessee $67 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 (itemized below). Separate from out-of-state donors.
