Where the Money Goes
Of the $1,024,042 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $459,548 (45%) — went to operating costs and overhead.
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: $459,548 ÷ Total spent: $1,024,042
| Operating / overhead spending | $459,548 |
| Contributions to candidates | $419,903 |
- Operating & other $459,548 45%
- To TN candidates $419,903 41%
- To other PACs $128,479 13%
- Spent outside Tennessee $16,111 1.6%
“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.
