Where the Money Goes

Of the $1,260,288 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $928,904 (74%) — went to activity outside Tennessee.

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: $280,134 ÷ Total spent: $1,260,288
Inputs behind Operating share of spending
Operating / overhead spending $280,134
Contributions to candidates $18,750

“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.
