Registered Jan 1990 · Treasurer: Brenda Brewster · Nashville, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $495,177 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $255,600 (52%) — 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).
