Where the Money Goes
Of the $345,865 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $283,246 (82%) — went to operating costs and overhead.
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: $283,246 ÷ Total spent: $345,865
| Operating / overhead spending | $283,246 |
| Contributions to candidates | $53,877 |
- Operating & other $283,246 82%
- To TN candidates $53,877 16%
- To other PACs $8,390 2.4%
- Spent outside Tennessee $352 0.1%
