Where the Money Goes
Of the $79,410 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $31,300 (39%) — went to activity outside Tennessee.
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).

- Spent outside Tennessee $31,300 39%
- To TN candidates $31,150 39%
- Operating & other $10,760 14%
- To other PACs $6,200 7.8%
“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.
