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).

Its filing also reports $2,000 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:

  • Bo Burk for Public Defender $1,000.00
  • Mike Dunavant Campaign $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.
