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 / overhead spending | $8,287 |
| Contributions to candidates | $12,500 |
- To TN candidates $12,500 48%
- Operating & other $8,287 32%
- To other PACs $5,000 19%
- Spent outside Tennessee $102 0.4%
“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
