Where the Money Goes
Of the $20,200 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $20,200 (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 / overhead spending divided by everything this committee spent (each expenditure lands in exactly one bucket).
| Operating / overhead spending | $20,200 |
| Contributions to candidates | $0 |
- Operating & other $20,200 100%

Tracked candidates reported receiving $7,300 from this committee — $7,300 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.
