Where the Money Goes

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 | $0 |
| Contributions to candidates | $2,000 |
- Spent outside Tennessee $87,890 98%
- To TN candidates $2,000 2.2%
“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. Separate from out-of-state donors.
Contributions to Candidates
No contributions to tracked candidates on record.
This committee’s own filings report $2,000 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $2,000 difference, $2,000 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).
