Where the Money Goes
Of the $1,484,089 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $873,749 (59%) — 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: $873,749 ÷ Total spent: $1,484,089

| Contributions to candidates | $350,865 |
- Operating & other $873,749 59%
- To TN candidates $350,865 24%
- To other PACs $232,575 16%
- Spent outside Tennessee $26,900 1.8%
