Where the Money Goes
Of the $47,386 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $39,536 (83%) — 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 | $39,536 |
| Contributions to candidates | $2,850 |
- Operating & other $39,536 83%
- Spent outside Tennessee $5,000 11%
- To TN candidates $2,850 6.0%
“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. Separate from out-of-state donors.
Contributions to Candidates
No contributions to tracked candidates on record.
This committee’s own filings report $2,850 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $2,850 difference, $2,850 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).
Its filing also reports $2,850 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:
- Taylor (Robert) for Schools $2,500.00
- Young, Zach $350.00
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.
