McCormick PAC
Registered Jun 2010 · Treasurer: Gerald McCormick · Nashville, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $63,881 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $34,131 (53%) — went to operating costs and overhead.
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 | $34,131 |
| Contributions to candidates | $26,500 |
- Operating & other $34,131 53%
- To TN candidates $26,500 41%
- To other PACs $3,000 4.7%
- Spent outside Tennessee $250 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.
