Where the Money Goes
Of the $492,794 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $345,479 (70%) — went to Tennessee candidates.
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 spending: $127,553 ÷ Total spent: $492,794
| Operating / overhead spending | $127,553 |
| Contributions to candidates | $345,479 |
- To TN candidates $345,479 70%
- Operating & other $127,553 26%
- To other PACs $18,762 3.8%
- Spent outside Tennessee $1,000 0.2%
“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.
