Where the Money Goes
Of the $16,800 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $16,800 (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.
