Registered Jun 2005 · Treasurer: Jennifer Martinez · Memphis, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $20,588 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $10,000 (49%) — went to other PACs and committees.
Why this number?
Operating / overhead spending divided by everything this committee spent (each expenditure lands in exactly one bucket).
| Operating / overhead spending | $9,338 |
| Contributions to candidates | $250 |
- To other PACs $10,000 49%
- Operating & other $9,338 45%
- Spent outside Tennessee $1,000 4.9%
- To TN candidates $250 1.2%
“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.
