Unum PAC
Registered Jan 1990 · Treasurer: Elizabeth H. Simon · Chattanooga, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $12,395 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $6,500 (52%) — 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).
- Spent outside Tennessee $6,500 52%
- To TN candidates $3,100 25%
- Operating & other $2,070 17%
- To other PACs $725 5.8%
“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.
