Where the Money Goes
Of the $56,879 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $49,054 (86%) — went to operating costs and overhead.
Why this number?
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 / overhead spending | $49,054 |
| Contributions to candidates | $6,500 |
- Operating & other $49,054 86%
- To TN candidates $6,500 11%
- Spent outside Tennessee $1,325 2.3%
“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.
