Where the Money Goes
Of the $4,272,790 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $2,530,174 (59%) — 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 spending: $997,185 ÷ Total spent: $4,272,790
| Operating / overhead spending | $997,185 |
| Contributions to candidates | $2,530,174 |
- To TN candidates $2,530,174 59%
- Operating & other $997,185 23%
- To other PACs $607,045 14%
- Spent outside Tennessee $138,387 3.2%
“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.
