Where the Money Goes

Of the $22,340 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $12,008 (54%) — went to operating costs and overhead.

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: $12,008 ÷ Total spent: $22,340
Inputs behind Operating share of spending
Operating / overhead spending $12,008
Contributions to candidates $8,200

“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.

Contributions to Candidates

No contributions to tracked candidates on record.

This committee’s own filings report $8,200 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $8,200 difference, $8,200 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).

Its filing also reports $8,200 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:

  • Foley, Jennifer $4,100.00
  • Madeira, Elizabeth $4,100.00

Tennessee caps what a PAC may give one candidate per election — $15,400 for statewide and House races, $30,800 for Senate races (2025–26 limits; a primary and a general count as separate elections). Registry of Election Finance limits.

Given in Other States

This committee sent $2,132 to 2 candidates and committees outside Tennessee, across 2 states. These are counted as spending outside Tennessee, not as Tennessee candidate support — Who Funds Tennessee doesn’t track out-of-state races, so they don’t link to a page here.
