Faison Freedom PAC
Registered Sep 2019 · Treasurer: Miriam Faison · Newport, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $50,449 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $34,199 (68%) — went to operating costs and overhead.
Why this number?
Operating / overhead spending divided by everything this committee spent (each expenditure lands in exactly one bucket).
| Operating / overhead spending | $34,199 |
| Contributions to candidates | $16,000 |
- Operating & other $34,199 68%
- To TN candidates $16,000 32%
- Spent outside Tennessee $251 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.
