Where the Money Goes
Of the $1,739,521 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $1,123,398 (65%) — 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: $1,123,398 ÷ Total spent: $1,739,521
| Operating / overhead spending | $1,123,398 |
| Contributions to candidates | $230,230 |
- Operating & other $1,123,398 65%
