Registered Jan 1990 · Treasurer: Brenda Brewster · Nashville, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $319,788 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $193,950 (61%) — 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).

| Contributions to candidates | $193,950 |
- To TN candidates $193,950 61%
- To other PACs $78,050 24%
