Where the Money Goes

Of the $25,889 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $12,500 (48%) — 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 spending: $8,287 ÷ Total spent: $25,889

“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 $12,500 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $12,500 difference, $12,500 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).

Its filing also reports $12,500 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:

  • Campaign To Elect Jason W Baggett $2,500.00
  • Jawon Lauderdale for County Commissioner $2,500.00
