Dentaquest PAC TN C
Registered Jul 2017 · Treasurer: Edward Greissing · Wellesley, MA
Where the Money Goes
Of the $488,560 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $432,200 (88%) — went to activity outside Tennessee.
Why this number?
Operating / overhead spending divided by everything this committee spent (each expenditure lands in exactly one bucket).
| Operating / overhead spending | $360 |
| Contributions to candidates | $0 |
- Spent outside Tennessee $432,200 88%
- To other PACs $56,000 11%
- Operating & other $360 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.
Contributions to Candidates
| Candidate | Office | Party | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brent Taylor | Tennessee Senate, District 31 | Rep. | $1,000.00 |
| Steve Southerland | Tennessee Senate, District 09 | Rep. | $1,000.00 |
Tracked candidates reported receiving $2,000 from this committee — $2,000 more than its own filings itemize ($0), because their receipt filings posted ahead of the committee’s covering report or span more cycles than its loaded filings.
Tennessee caps what a PAC may give one candidate per election — $15,400 for statewide and House races, $30,800 for Senate races (2025–26 limits; a primary and a general count as separate elections). Registry of Election Finance limits.
