Where the Money Goes

Of the $75,746 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $72,442 (96%) — went to operating costs and overhead. Operating costs consumed 96% of everything it spent; $2,798 went to Tennessee candidates.

Why this number?

Operating share of spending compares operating spending with total spent.

“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.
