Registered Dec 2001 · Treasurer: Larry Valenti · Charlotte, NC
Where the Money Goes
Of the $226,542 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $208,850 (92%) — 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).
- Spent outside Tennessee $208,850 92%
- To TN candidates $10,500 4.6%
- Operating & other $5,992 2.6%
- To other PACs $1,200 0.5%
“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
No contributions to tracked candidates on record.
This committee’s own filings report $10,500 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $10,500 difference, $10,500 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).
Its filing also reports $10,500 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:
- Bredesen, Phil $7,500.00
- Brooks, Harry $1,000.00
- Marsha Blackburn for Congress $1,000.00
- Alexander, Lamar $1,000.00
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.
