Where the Money Goes

Of the $13,075 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $4,900 (37%) — went to activity outside Tennessee.

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 spending: $75 ÷ Total spent: $13,075
Inputs behind Operating share of spending
Operating / overhead spending $75
Contributions to candidates $3,850

“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

No contributions to tracked candidates on record.

This committee’s own filings report $3,850 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $3,850 difference, $3,850 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).

Its filing also reports $3,850 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:

  • Alexander, Lamar $1,000.00
  • Bredesen, Phil $1,000.00
  • Naifeh, Jimmy $1,000.00
  • Kyle, Jim $500.00
  • Bryson, James $250.00
  • Tygard, Charlie $100.00

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.
