Where the Money Goes
Of the $192,616 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $96,513 (50%) — went to activity outside Tennessee.
Why this number?
Operating / overhead spending divided by everything this committee spent (each expenditure lands in exactly one bucket).
| Operating / overhead spending | $6,070 |
| Contributions to candidates | $31,750 |
- Spent outside Tennessee $96,513 50%
- To other PACs $58,283 30%
- To TN candidates $31,750 16%
- Operating & other $6,070 3.2%
“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.

Tracked candidates reported receiving $38,500 from this committee — $6,750 more than its own filings itemize ($31,750), because their receipt filings posted ahead of the committee’s covering report or span more cycles than its loaded filings.
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.
