This committee sent $2,500 to 1 candidate and committee outside Tennessee, across 1 state. These are counted as spending outside Tennessee, not as Tennessee candidate support — Who Funds Tennessee doesn’t track out-of-state races, so they don’t link to a page here.

$5,000.00 (1% of money raised) came from its own sponsor, Smith Harris Carr PAC — counted in every total, shown so it doesn’t read as outside support.
