Where the Money Goes

Of the $10,500 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $9,500 (90%) — went to operating costs and overhead. Operating costs consumed 90% of everything it spent; $1,000 went to Tennessee candidates.

Why this number?

Operating share of spending compares operating spending with total spent.
