Where the Money Goes
Of the $260,493 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $138,944 (53%) — 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).
