LAW PAC (Berkley Schwarz)
Registered Jan 1990 · Treasurer: Berkley Schwarz · Nashville, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $22,000 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $22,000 (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 share of spending compares operating spending with total spent.

Tracked candidates reported receiving $3,500 from this committee — $3,500 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.
