Where the Money Goes

Of the $20,327 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $18,781 (92%) — went to operating costs and overhead. Operating costs consumed 92% of everything it spent; none of it reached Tennessee candidates as direct contributions.

Why this number?

Operating share of spending compares operating spending with total spent.

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 (itemized below). Separate from out-of-state donors.

Contributions to Candidates

Contributions to tracked candidates
Candidate Office Party Total
Charlane Oliver Tennessee Senate, District 19 Dem. $100.00

Tracked candidates reported receiving $100 from this committee — $100 more than its own filings itemize ($0), because their receipt filings posted ahead of the committee’s covering report or span more cycles than its loaded filings.

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.
