First Horizon Local PAC
Registered Jan 1990 · Treasurer: Desiree M. Franklin · Memphis, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $17,000 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $11,000 (65%) — 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 / overhead spending | $0 |
| Contributions to candidates | $11,000 |
- To TN candidates $11,000 65%
- To other PACs $5,000 29%
- Spent outside Tennessee $1,000 5.9%
“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.

No contributions to tracked candidates on record.
This committee’s own filings report $11,000 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $11,000 difference, $11,000 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).
