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.

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 spending: $82,846 ÷ Total spent: $89,371
Inputs behind Operating share of spending
Operating / overhead spending $82,846
Contributions to candidates $5,862

“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.
