Where the Money Goes

Of the $74,268 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $44,368 (60%) — 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 spending: $44,368 ÷ Total spent: $74,268
Inputs behind Operating share of spending
Operating / overhead spending $44,368
Contributions to candidates $14,700

“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.
