† Reported in this PAC’s own disbursement filing; the recipient’s receipt filing hasn’t itemized it yet.

Tracked candidates reported receiving $44,828 from this committee — $980 more than its own filings itemize ($43,849), because their receipt filings posted ahead of the committee’s covering report or span more cycles than its loaded filings.

Its filing also reports $2,020 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:

  • Reeves, William S. $2,020.20

Tennessee caps what a PAC may give one candidate per election — $15,400 for statewide and House races, $30,800 for Senate races (2025–26 limits; a primary and a general count as separate elections). Registry of Election Finance limits.
