Where the Money Goes
Of the $77,750 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $34,700 (45%) — went to activity outside Tennessee.
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 | $10,500 |

- Spent outside Tennessee $34,700 45%
- To TN candidates $21,550 28%
- To other PACs $11,000 14%
- Operating & other $10,500 14%
“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.
