Where the Money Goes
Of the $5,008,760 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $4,602,660 (92%) — 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: $10,100 ÷ Total spent: $5,008,760
| Operating / overhead spending | $10,100 |
| Contributions to candidates | $207,500 |
- Spent outside Tennessee $4,602,660 92%
- To TN candidates $207,500 4.1%
- To other PACs $188,500 3.8%
- Operating & other $10,100 0.2%
“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.
