Where the Money Goes

Of the $45,000 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $31,150 (69%) — 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: $1,500 ÷ Total spent: $45,000
Inputs behind Operating share of spending
Operating / overhead spending $1,500
Contributions to candidates $11,350

“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.

This committee’s own filings report $11,350 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $11,350 difference, $11,350 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).
