Where the Money Goes
Of the $604,542 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $305,400 (51%) — 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 spending: $264,168 ÷ Total spent: $604,542
| Operating / overhead spending | $264,168 |
| Contributions to candidates | $305,400 |
- To TN candidates $305,400 51%
- Operating & other $264,168 44%
- To other PACs $27,250 4.5%
- Spent outside Tennessee $7,724 1.3%
“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.
