Tracked candidates reported receiving $44,300 from this committee — $31,300 more than its own filings itemize ($13,000), because their receipt filings posted ahead of the committee’s covering report or span more cycles than its loaded filings.
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:
- Williamson County Conservatives $1,000.00
- Creswell, Wade $1,000.00
- Frank, Terry $1,000.00
Tennessee caps what a PAC may give one candidate per election — $15,400 for statewide and House races, $30,800 for Senate races (2025–26 limits; a primary and a general count as separate elections). Registry of Election Finance limits.
