Where the Money Goes
Of the $16,416 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $9,380 (57%) — went to Tennessee candidates.
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 | $6,786 |
| Contributions to candidates | $9,380 |
- To TN candidates $9,380 57%
- Operating & other $6,786 41%
- Spent outside Tennessee $250 1.5%
“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.
Contributions to Candidates
No contributions to tracked candidates on record.
This committee’s own filings report $9,380 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $9,380 difference, $9,380 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).
