Where the Money Goes

Of the $21,995 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $21,995 (100%) — went to operating costs and overhead. Operating costs consumed 100% of everything it spent; none of it reached Tennessee candidates as direct contributions.

Why this number?

Operating share of spending compares operating spending with total spent.

Tracked candidates reported receiving $100 from this committee — $100 more than its own filings itemize ($0), because their receipt filings posted ahead of the committee’s covering report or span more cycles than its loaded filings.
