Where the Money Goes
Of the $197,678 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $94,165 (48%) — 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 | $94,165 |
| Contributions to candidates | $47,950 |
- Operating & other $94,165 48%
- To TN candidates $47,950 24%
- To other PACs $42,450 21%
- Spent outside Tennessee $13,113 6.6%
“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.
