Tennessee Voter Project PAC
Where the Money Goes
Of the $21,960 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $15,697 (71%) — went to operating costs and overhead.
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 | $15,697 |
| Contributions to candidates | $4,150 |
- Operating & other $15,697 71%
- To TN candidates $4,150 19%
- To other PACs $1,600 7.3%
- Spent outside Tennessee $513 2.3%
“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.
