Spectra Energy Corp Political Action Committee
Registered Aug 2007 · Treasurer: Ritu K. Talwar · Houston, TX
Where the Money Goes
Of the $7,000 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $3,500 (50%) — went to activity outside Tennessee.
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 | $0 |
| Contributions to candidates | $3,500 |
- Spent outside Tennessee $3,500 50%
- To TN candidates $3,500 50%
“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.

- Montgomery, Richard $500.00
