Where the Money Goes
Of the $790,824 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $571,950 (72%) — went to Tennessee candidates.
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: $29,449 ÷ Total spent: $790,824
| Operating / overhead spending | $29,449 |
| Contributions to candidates | $571,950 |
- To TN candidates $571,950 72%
- Spent outside Tennessee $151,625 19%
- To other PACs $37,800 4.8%
- Operating & other $29,449 3.7%
“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.
