Where the Money Goes
Of the $719,510 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $568,599 (79%) — 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: $100,349 ÷ Total spent: $719,510
| Operating / overhead spending | $100,349 |
| Contributions to candidates | $568,599 |
- To TN candidates $568,599 79%
- Operating & other $100,349 14%
- To other PACs $49,563 6.9%
- Spent outside Tennessee $1,000 0.1%
“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.
