Where the Money Goes
Of the $26,267,746 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $21,756,409 (83%) — 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: $21,756,409 ÷ Total spent: $26,267,746
| Operating / overhead spending | $21,756,409 |
| Contributions to candidates | $578,455 |
- Operating & other $21,756,409 83%
- Spent outside Tennessee $3,849,882 15%
- To TN candidates $578,455 2.2%
- To other PACs $83,000 0.3%
“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.
