Where the Money Goes

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).

- To other PACs $8,175 43%
- Spent outside Tennessee $5,130 27%
- To TN candidates $5,000 27%
