“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.

This committee’s own filings report $3,750 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $3,750 difference, $3,750 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).

  • Friends of Bud Phillips $250.00
