Where the Money Goes

Of the $109,095 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $60,030 (55%) — 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: $8,889 ÷ Total spent: $109,095
Inputs behind Operating share of spending
Operating / overhead spending $8,889
Contributions to candidates $60,030

“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.
