Where the Money Goes
Of the $118,697 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $110,944 (93%) — went to operating costs and overhead. Operating costs consumed 93% of everything it spent; $6,481 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 / overhead spending | $110,944 |
| Contributions to candidates | $6,481 |
- Operating & other $110,944 93%
- To TN candidates $6,481 5.5%
- To other PACs $771 0.6%
- Spent outside Tennessee $500 0.4%
“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.
