Hawkins County Republican Committee
Registered Jul 2014 · Treasurer: Brady C. Forgety · Rogersville, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $14,243 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $11,454 (80%) — went to operating costs and overhead.
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 | $11,454 |
| Contributions to candidates | $2,290 |
- Operating & other $11,454 80%
- To TN candidates $2,290 16%
- Spent outside Tennessee $500 3.5%
“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.
