Where the Money Goes
Of the $601,895 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $292,528 (49%) — 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 / overhead spending | $284,345 |
| Contributions to candidates | $292,528 |
- To TN candidates $292,528 49%
- Operating & other $284,345 47%
- To other PACs $21,523 3.6%
- Spent outside Tennessee $3,500 0.6%
“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.
