Where the Money Goes
Of the $6,439 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $6,439 (100%) — went to operating costs and overhead. Operating costs consumed 100% of everything it spent; none of it reached Tennessee candidates as direct contributions.
Why this number?
Operating share of spending compares operating spending with total spent.

Tracked candidates reported receiving $15,500 from this committee — $15,500 more than its own filings itemize ($0), because their receipt filings posted ahead of the committee’s covering report or span more cycles than its loaded filings.
