|---|---|---|---|
| Marsha Blackburn | Governor | Rep. | $10,600.00 |
Tracked candidates reported receiving $10,600 from this committee — $1,600 more than its own filings itemize ($9,000), because their receipt filings posted ahead of the committee’s covering report or span more cycles than its loaded filings.
Its filing also reports $9,000 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:
- Jacob Kupin for District 19 $3,000.00
- Friends of Rollin Horton $2,500.00
- Glandorf, Bethany $2,500.00
- Friends of Matt Brown $1,000.00
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.
