Registered Jun 2015 · Treasurer: Thad Drake · Cookeville, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $12,677 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $6,154 (49%) — 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 / overhead spending | $6,154 |
| Contributions to candidates | $1,272 |
- Operating & other $6,154 49%
- To other PACs $5,000 39%
- To TN candidates $1,272 10%
- Spent outside Tennessee $250 2.0%
“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.
Contributions to Candidates
No contributions to tracked candidates on record.
This committee’s own filings report $1,272 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $1,272 difference, $1,272 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).
Its filing also reports $1,272 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:
- The Store $772.25
- Fellowship of Christian Athletes $500.00
Tennessee caps what a PAC may give one candidate per election — $15,400 for statewide and House races, $30,800 for Senate races (2025–26 limits; a primary and a general count as separate elections). Registry of Election Finance limits.
