Registered Jan 1990 · Treasurer: Brenda Brewster · Nashville, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $422,517 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $226,650 (54%) — 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 | $107,443 |

- To TN candidates $226,650 54%
- Operating & other $107,443 25%
- To other PACs $70,373 17%
- Spent outside Tennessee $18,051 4.3%
“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.
