Where the Money Goes
Of the $1,080,271 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $1,042,910 (97%) — went to operating costs and overhead. Operating costs consumed 97% of everything it spent; $30,400 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 spending: $1,042,910 ÷ Total spent: $1,080,271
| Operating / overhead spending | $1,042,910 |
| Contributions to candidates | $30,400 |
- Operating & other $1,042,910 97%
- To TN candidates $30,400 2.8%
- To other PACs $5,192 0.5%
- Spent outside Tennessee $1,769 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.
