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

“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.
