Where the Money Goes
Of the $3,631,640 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $2,633,500 (73%) — went to activity outside Tennessee.
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 | $478,280 |
| Contributions to candidates | $139,000 |
- Spent outside Tennessee $2,633,500 73%
- Operating & other $478,280 13%
- To other PACs $380,860 10%
- To TN candidates $139,000 3.8%
“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.
