Where the Money Goes

Of the $612,315 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $341,322 (56%) — 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: $10,143 ÷ Total spent: $612,315
Inputs behind Operating share of spending
Operating / overhead spending $10,143
Contributions to candidates $341,322

“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.
