Where the Money Goes

Of the $110,828 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $109,060 (98%) — went to operating costs and overhead. Operating costs consumed 98% of everything it spent; $1,500 went to Tennessee candidates.

Operating share of spending compares operating spending with total spent.
