Where the Money Goes
Of the $105,300 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $104,300 (99.0%) — went to activity outside Tennessee.
- Spent outside Tennessee $104,300 99.0%
- To TN candidates $1,000 0.9%
“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.

Given in Other States
This committee sent $81,500 to 34 candidates and committees outside Tennessee, across 6 states. These are counted as spending outside Tennessee, not as Tennessee candidate support — Who Funds Tennessee doesn’t track out-of-state races, so they don’t link to a page here.
