Jim Tracy Leadership PAC
Where the Money Goes
Of the $12,000 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $5,000 (42%) — 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 | $2,000 |
| Contributions to candidates | $5,000 |
- Spent outside Tennessee $5,000 42%
- To TN candidates $5,000 42%
- Operating & other $2,000 17%
“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.

Its filing also reports $3,000 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:
- Rusty Crowe for Congress $1,000.00
- Templeton, Jai $1,000.00
- Reeves, William S. $1,000.00
