Unaka Company PAC
Registered Jan 2002 · Treasurer: John M. Owens · Greenville, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $16,600 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $10,500 (63%) — went to activity outside Tennessee.
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 | $100 |
| Contributions to candidates | $6,000 |
- Spent outside Tennessee $10,500 63%
- To TN candidates $6,000 36%
- Operating & other $100 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.

- Bryan, Darrell $500.00
