Where the Money Goes
Of the $179,643 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $101,750 (57%) — went to Tennessee candidates.
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 & other $34,933 19%
- Spent outside Tennessee $27,510 15%
- To other PACs $15,450 8.6%
“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.
