Tennessee Carpenters Regional Council PAC
Registered Sep 2001 · Treasurer: Charles D. Maples · Nashville, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $70,700 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $41,300 (58%) — 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 / overhead spending | $41,300 |
| Contributions to candidates | $11,500 |
- Operating & other $41,300 58%
- To other PACs $12,900 18%
- To TN candidates $11,500 16%
- Spent outside Tennessee $5,000 7.1%
“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.
