Where the Money Goes
Of the $85,491 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $64,681 (76%) — 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 | $64,681 |
| Contributions to candidates | $19,110 |
- Operating & other $64,681 76%
- To TN candidates $19,110 22%
- To other PACs $1,200 1.4%
- Spent outside Tennessee $500 0.6%
“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.
