Where the Money Goes
Of the $219,255 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $197,755 (90%) — went to operating costs and overhead. Operating costs consumed 90% of everything it spent; $6,000 went to Tennessee candidates.
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 & other $197,755 90%
- Spent outside Tennessee $12,500 5.7%
- To TN candidates $6,000 2.7%
- To other PACs $3,000 1.4%
“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 $6,000 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $6,000 difference, $6,000 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).

- Finney, Lowe $1,000.00
- Naacp $1,000.00
- Vaughn, Nathan $1,000.00
- Barristers Ball $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.
