Registered Jan 1990 · Treasurer: Brenda Brewster · Nashville, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $981,032 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $341,187 (35%) — went to activity outside Tennessee.
Why this number?
Operating share of spending compares operating spending with total spent.
