Where the Money Goes

Of the $35,345 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $19,040 (54%) — went to Tennessee candidates.

Why this number?

Operating share of spending compares operating spending with total spent.

Operating / overhead spending divided by everything this committee spent (each expenditure lands in exactly one bucket).

“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.
