Contributions to Candidates

Contributions to tracked candidates
Candidate Office Party Total
Charlane Oliver Tennessee Senate, District 19 Dem. $200.00

Tracked candidates reported receiving $200 from this committee — $160 more than its own filings itemize ($40), because their receipt filings posted ahead of the committee’s covering report or span more cycles than its loaded filings.

Its filing also reports $40 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:

  • Hoffman, William J $40.00

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.
