Where the Money Goes

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 | $150 |
| Contributions to candidates | $15,400 |
- To TN candidates $15,400 70%
- Spent outside Tennessee $6,040 27%
- To other PACs $500 2.3%
- Operating & other $150 0.7%
“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.
This committee’s own filings report $15,400 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $15,400 difference, $15,400 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).
Its filing also reports $15,400 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:
- Marsha for Governor $10,400.00
- Freddie for Mayor $5,000.00
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.
