Registered Jan 1990 · Treasurer: Jennifer Hutcheson · Nashville, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $28,265 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $16,400 (58%) — went to Tennessee candidates.
Why this number?
Operating / overhead spending divided by everything this committee spent (each expenditure lands in exactly one bucket).
| Operating / overhead spending | $3,515 |
| Contributions to candidates | $16,400 |
- To TN candidates $16,400 58%
- To other PACs $5,000 18%
- Operating & other $3,515 12%
- Spent outside Tennessee $3,350 12%
“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.
