† Reported in this PAC’s own disbursement filing; the recipient’s receipt filing hasn’t itemized it yet.
Tracked candidates reported receiving $27,500 from this committee — $22,000 more than its own filings itemize ($5,500), because their receipt filings posted ahead of the committee’s covering report or span more cycles than its loaded filings.
Its filing also reports $2,000 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:
- Paige Brown for Mayor $1,000.00
- Swann, Art $1,000.00
Tennessee caps what a PAC may give one candidate per election — $15,400 for statewide and House races, $30,800 for Senate races (2025–26 limits; a primary and a general count as separate elections). Registry of Election Finance limits.
