Cross-jurisdiction totals reflect the linked entity record and may exclude unmerged duplicates; figures are two separate per-jurisdiction public totals, not a combined statewide total. As of 2026-09-24.
Where the Money Goes
Of the $3,380,777 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $1,447,548 (43%) — 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).
| Operating / overhead spending | $685,118 |
| Contributions to candidates | $586,850 |
- Spent outside Tennessee $1,447,548 43%
- Operating & other $685,118 20%
- To other PACs $661,261 20%
- To TN candidates $586,850 17%
“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.
