Where the Money Goes
Of the $506,104 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $242,600 (48%) — went to Tennessee candidates.
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: $6,678 ÷ Total spent: $506,104
| Operating / overhead spending | $6,678 |
| Contributions to candidates | $242,600 |
- To TN candidates $242,600 48%
- Spent outside Tennessee $139,775 28%
- To other PACs $117,050 23%
- Operating & other $6,678 1.3%
“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.
