Where the Money Goes

Of the $31,150 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $31,150 (100%) — went to operating costs and overhead. Operating costs consumed 100% of everything it spent; none of it reached Tennessee candidates as direct contributions.

Why this number?

Operating / overhead spending divided by everything this committee spent (each expenditure lands in exactly one bucket).

Operating spending: $31,150 ÷ Total spent: $31,150

Tracked candidates reported receiving $39,500 from this committee — $39,500 more than its own filings itemize ($0), because their receipt filings posted ahead of the committee’s covering report or span more cycles than its loaded filings.

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.
