Putnam County Republican Party Executive Committee
Registered Jan 2024 · Treasurer: Connie Bellamy · Cookeville, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $22,625 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $22,368 (99%) — went to operating costs and overhead. Operating costs consumed 99% of everything it spent; none of it reached Tennessee candidates as direct contributions.
Why this number?
Operating / overhead spending divided by everything this committee spent (each expenditure lands in exactly one bucket).
| Operating / overhead spending | $22,368 |
| Contributions to candidates | $0 |
- Operating & other $22,368 99%
- Spent outside Tennessee $256 1.1%
“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.
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
