Where the Money Goes

Of the $43,912 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $20,850 (47%) — 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: $18,612 ÷ Total spent: $43,912
Inputs behind Operating share of spending
Operating / overhead spending $18,612
Contributions to candidates $20,850

“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.

  • Hill, Matthew $500.00
  • Holsclaw, John B. $500.00
