Where the Money Goes
Of the $103,054 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $56,780 (55%) — 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: $10,244 ÷ Total spent: $103,054
| Operating / overhead spending | $10,244 |
| Contributions to candidates | $56,780 |
- To TN candidates $56,780 55%
- To other PACs $19,750 19%
- Spent outside Tennessee $16,280 16%
- Operating & other $10,244 9.9%
“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.
