Registered Jan 1990 · Treasurer: Brenda Brewster · Nashville, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $1,864,953 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $774,476 (42%) — went to operating costs and overhead.
Why this number?
Operating / overhead spending divided by everything this committee spent (each expenditure lands in exactly one bucket).
| Operating / overhead spending | $774,476 |
| Contributions to candidates | $297,150 |
- Operating & other $774,476 42%
- Spent outside Tennessee $486,828 26%
- To other PACs $306,500 16%
- To TN candidates $297,150 16%
“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.
