Where the Money Goes
Of the $59,750 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $27,000 (45%) — 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 | $0 |
| Contributions to candidates | $27,000 |
- To TN candidates $27,000 45%
- Spent outside Tennessee $23,250 39%
- To other PACs $9,500 16%
“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.
