Where the Money Goes

Of the $84,557 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $44,887 (53%) — 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: $44,887 ÷ Total spent: $84,557

“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.

No contributions to tracked candidates on record.

This committee’s own filings report $11,900 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $11,900 difference, $11,900 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).
