Tennessee Legislative Campaign Committee
Registered Jan 1990 · Treasurer: Shannon Haynes · Nashville, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $378,530 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $370,997 (98%) — went to operating costs and overhead. Operating costs consumed 98% of everything it spent; none of it reached Tennessee candidates as direct contributions.
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).
