Tennessee Legislative Campaign Committee
Registered Jan 1990 · Treasurer: Shannon Haynes · Nashville, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $1,698,464 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $1,655,772 (97%) — went to operating costs and overhead. Operating costs consumed 97% 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.
