Deere Company PAC TN
Registered Oct 2002 · Treasurer: Joanne Woodward · Moline, IL
Where the Money Goes
Of the $18,704 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $9,500 (51%) — 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).
- To TN candidates $9,500 51%
- Spent outside Tennessee $9,000 48%
- Operating & other $204 1.1%
“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.
