Of the $385,517 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $295,800 (77%) — 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 spending: $1,467 ÷ Total spent: $385,517
| Operating / overhead spending | $1,467 |
| Contributions to candidates | $67,750 |
- Spent outside Tennessee $295,800 77%
- To TN candidates $67,750 18%
- To other PACs $20,500 5.3%
- Operating & other $1,467 0.4%
“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.
