Where the Money Goes
Of the $1,618,686 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $1,223,518 (76%) — 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 spending: $43,716 ÷ Total spent: $1,618,686
| Operating / overhead spending | $43,716 |
| Contributions to candidates | $1,223,518 |
- To TN candidates $1,223,518 76%
- To other PACs $350,202 22%
- Operating & other $43,716 2.7%
- Spent outside Tennessee $1,250 0.1%
“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.
