Where the Money Goes
Of the $101,150 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $72,400 (72%) — 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 | $0 |

- Spent outside Tennessee $72,400 72%
- To TN candidates $27,500 27%
- To other PACs $1,250 1.2%
“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.
