Where the Money Goes
Of the $69,016 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $54,806 (79%) — went to operating costs and overhead.
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 | $54,806 |
| Contributions to candidates | $12,625 |
- Operating & other $54,806 79%
- To TN candidates $12,625 18%
- To other PACs $1,485 2.2%
- Spent outside Tennessee $100 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.
