The Kroger Co Political Action Committee
Registered Oct 2012 · Treasurer: Matthew Perin · Cincinnati, OH
Where the Money Goes
Of the $123,900 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $121,250 (98%) — went to activity outside Tennessee.
Why this number?
Operating / overhead spending divided by everything this committee spent (each expenditure lands in exactly one bucket).
| Operating / overhead spending | $150 |
| Contributions to candidates | $2,500 |
- Spent outside Tennessee $121,250 98%
- To TN candidates $2,500 2.0%
- Operating & other $150 0.1%
“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.
Contributions to Candidates
No contributions to tracked candidates on record.
This committee’s own filings report $2,500 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $2,500 difference, $2,500 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).
Its filing also reports $2,500 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:
- Diana for Congress $2,500.00
Tennessee caps what a PAC may give one candidate per election — $15,400 for statewide and House races, $30,800 for Senate races (2025–26 limits; a primary and a general count as separate elections). Registry of Election Finance limits.
Given in Other States
This committee sent $121,250 to 56 candidates and committees outside Tennessee, across 24 states. These are counted as spending outside Tennessee, not as Tennessee candidate support — Who Funds Tennessee doesn’t track out-of-state races, so they don’t link to a page here.
