Unum PAC
Registered Jan 1990 · Treasurer: Elizabeth H. Simon · Chattanooga, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $20,550 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $10,000 (49%) — 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).

| Contributions to candidates | $8,800 |
- Spent outside Tennessee $10,000 49%
- To TN candidates $8,800 43%
- To other PACs $1,550 7.5%
- Operating & other $200 1.0%
“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. Separate from out-of-state donors.
