Marathon Oil Co Employees PAC
Registered Jan 1990 · Treasurer: Nancy Cushman · Detroit, MI
Where the Money Goes
Of the $69,583 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $67,300 (97%) — went to activity outside Tennessee.
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).
- Spent outside Tennessee $67,300 97%
- To TN candidates $2,000 2.9%
- Operating & other $283 0.4%
“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 $2,000 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $2,000 difference, $2,000 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).
Its filing also reports $2,000 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:
- Bryson, James $500.00
- McMillan (House), Kim $500.00
- Briley, Rob $500.00
- Sargent, Jr., Charles $500.00
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.
Given in Other States
This committee sent $67,300 to 21 candidates and committees outside Tennessee, across 12 states. These are counted as spending outside Tennessee, not as Tennessee candidate support — Who Funds Tennessee doesn’t track out-of-state races, so they don’t link to a page here.
