Where the Money Goes

Why this number?
Operating share of spending compares operating spending with total spent.

“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.
