Where the Money Goes
Of the $146,043 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $144,043 (99%) — went to operating costs and overhead. Operating costs consumed 99% of everything it spent; none of it reached Tennessee candidates as direct contributions.
Why this number?
Operating / overhead spending divided by everything this committee spent (each expenditure lands in exactly one bucket).
| Operating / overhead spending | $144,043 |
