Where the Money Goes
Of the $24,300 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $17,000 (70%) — 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 / overhead spending | $0 |
| Contributions to candidates | $17,000 |
- To TN candidates $17,000 70%
- To other PACs $5,300 22%
- Spent outside Tennessee $2,000 8.2%
“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.
