Where the Money Goes
Of the $114,963 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $78,000 (68%) — went to activity outside Tennessee.
Why this number?
Operating / overhead spending divided by everything this committee spent (each expenditure lands in exactly one bucket).
| Operating / overhead spending | $28,963 |
| Contributions to candidates | $8,000 |
- Spent outside Tennessee $78,000 68%
- Operating & other $28,963 25%
- To TN candidates $8,000 7.0%
“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
| Candidate | Office | Party | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Michele Reneau | Tennessee House, District 27 | Rep. | $1,000.00 |
This committee’s own filings report $8,000 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $1,000. Of the $7,000 difference, $7,000 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).
Its filing also reports $7,000 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:
- Van for Tennessee $4,000.00
- Matt Van Epps for Congress $2,000.00
- Bill Hagerty for US Senate $1,000.00
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 $78,000 to 29 candidates and committees outside Tennessee, across 18 states. 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.
