Why this number?

Operating share of spending compares operating spending with total spent.

Source filings:

“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 $6,000 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $6,000 difference, $6,000 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).

Its filing also reports $6,000 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:

  • Cochran, Jerome $2,000.00
  • Hagood, Jamie $2,000.00
  • Mumpower, Jason $2,000.00

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.
