Hamilton County Democratic Party
Registered Jan 1990 · Treasurer: Brandi Hubbard · Chattanooga, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $51,540 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $51,515 (99.9%) — went to operating costs and overhead. Operating costs consumed 99.9% of everything it spent; none of it reached Tennessee candidates as direct contributions.
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 / overhead spending | $51,515 |
| Contributions to candidates | $0 |
- Operating & other $51,515 99.9%
- Spent outside Tennessee $25 0.0%
“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.
Contributions to Candidates
No contributions to tracked candidates on record.
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.
Given in Other States
This committee sent $25 to 1 candidate and committee outside Tennessee, across 1 state. These are counted as spending outside Tennessee, not as Tennessee candidate support — Who Funds Tennessee doesn’t track out-of-state races, so they don’t link to a page here.
