Where the Money Goes
Of the $384,378 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $157,028 (41%) — 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 | $157,028 |
| Contributions to candidates | $125,350 |
- Operating & other $157,028 41%
- To TN candidates $125,350 33%
- To other PACs $101,750 26%
- Spent outside Tennessee $250 0.1%
“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.
