Where the Money Goes
Of the $120,895 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $64,637 (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 / overhead spending | $64,637 |
| Contributions to candidates | $0 |
- Operating & other $64,637 53%
- Spent outside Tennessee $50,508 42%

“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. Separate from out-of-state donors.
Contributions to Candidates
| Candidate | Office | Party | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Julian Herbert Pierre-Griffin | Tennessee House, District 65 | Dem. | $450.00 |
Tracked candidates reported receiving $450 from this committee — $450 more than its own filings itemize ($0), because their receipt filings posted ahead of the committee’s covering report or span more cycles than its loaded filings.
Tennessee caps what a PAC may give one candidate per election — $15,400 for statewide and House races, $30,800 for Senate races (2025–26 limits; a primary and a general count as separate elections). Registry of Election Finance limits.
