Where the Money Goes
Of the $89,371 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $82,846 (93%) — went to operating costs and overhead. Operating costs consumed 93% of everything it spent; $5,862 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 | $82,846 |
| Contributions to candidates | $5,862 |
- Operating & other $82,846 93%
- To TN candidates $5,862 6.6%
- Spent outside Tennessee $663 0.7%
“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 $5,862 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $5,862 difference, $5,862 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).
Its filing also reports $5,862 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:
- Cass, Bobby $3,600.00
- Headrick, Dr. Mary $1,000.00
- Aub $704.47
- Ratledge, Brenda $209.16
- Buchan, Ginger Wilson $200.00
- Rayhuff, Ben $148.00
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 $663 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.
