Registered Jan 1990 · Treasurer: William J. Hoffman · Columbia, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $9,145 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $8,345 (91%) — went to operating costs and overhead. Operating costs consumed 91% of everything it spent; $600 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 | $8,345 |
| Contributions to candidates | $600 |
- Operating & other $8,345 91%
- To TN candidates $600 6.6%
- Spent outside Tennessee $200 2.2%
“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 $600 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $600 difference, $600 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).
Its filing also reports $600 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:
- H O Porter Scholarship Fund $200.00
- Paws $200.00
- The Family Center $200.00
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 $200 to 1 candidate and committee outside Tennessee, across 1 state. 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.
