Where the Money Goes

Of the $9,622 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $6,400 (67%) — went to activity outside Tennessee.

Why this number?

Operating share of spending compares operating spending with total spent.

Operating / overhead spending divided by everything this committee spent (each expenditure lands in exactly one bucket).

Operating spending: $222 ÷ Total spent: $9,622

“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.
