Where the Money Goes
Of the $280,609 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $90,400 (32%) — 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: $77,440 ÷ Total spent: $280,609
| Operating / overhead spending | $77,440 |
| Contributions to candidates | $90,400 |
- To TN candidates $90,400 32%
- To other PACs $88,000 31%
- Operating & other $77,440 28%
- Spent outside Tennessee $24,769 8.8%
“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.
