Registered Jan 1990 · Treasurer: Terry Vaughn · Nashville, TN
Where the Money Goes
Of the $59,736 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $46,850 (78%) — went to Tennessee candidates.
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 / overhead spending | $886 |
| Contributions to candidates | $46,850 |
- To TN candidates $46,850 78%
- To other PACs $11,000 18%
- Spent outside Tennessee $1,000 1.7%
- Operating & other $886 1.5%
“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.
