Where the Money Goes
Of the $948,866 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $480,349 (51%) — 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: $183,415 ÷ Total spent: $948,866
| Operating / overhead spending | $183,415 |
| Contributions to candidates | $480,349 |
- To TN candidates $480,349 51%
- To other PACs $283,403 30%
- Operating & other $183,415 19%
- Spent outside Tennessee $1,700 0.2%
“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.
