Where the Money Goes
Of the $39,595 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $19,500 (49%) — 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 / overhead spending | $2,595 |
| Contributions to candidates | $17,500 |
- Spent outside Tennessee $19,500 49%
- To TN candidates $17,500 44%
- Operating & other $2,595 6.6%
“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.
