Dentaquest PAC TN C
Registered Jul 2017 · Treasurer: Edward Greissing · Wellesley, MA
Where the Money Goes
Of the $57,825 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $25,000 (43%) — went to activity outside Tennessee.
Why this number?
Operating share of spending compares operating spending with total spent.
