Where the Money Goes
Of the $546,455 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $324,563 (59%) — went to operating costs and overhead.
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: $324,563 ÷ Total spent: $546,455
| Operating / overhead spending | $324,563 |
| Contributions to candidates | $158,652 |
- Operating & other $324,563 59%
- To TN candidates $158,652 29%
- To other PACs $62,240 11%
- Spent outside Tennessee $1,000 0.2%
“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.
