Where the Money Goes
Of the $39,303 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $24,932 (63%) — 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 / overhead spending | $24,932 |
| Contributions to candidates | $8,165 |
- Operating & other $24,932 63%
- To TN candidates $8,165 21%
- To other PACs $5,700 15%
- Spent outside Tennessee $506 1.3%
“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.
Contributions to Candidates
No contributions to tracked candidates on record.
This committee’s own filings report $8,165 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $8,165 difference, $8,165 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).
Its filing also reports $8,165 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:
- My District My Vote $5,900.00
- Angela Russell Campaign $971.50
- Herrera for Law Director $693.50
- Campaign of Debbie Phillips $550.00
- The Tennessee Conservative News $50.00
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.
