Where the Money Goes

Of the $757,406 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $552,850 (73%) — went to Tennessee candidates.

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 spending: $22,756 ÷ Total spent: $757,406
Inputs behind Operating share of spending
Operating / overhead spending $22,756
Contributions to candidates $552,850

“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.
