Where the Money Goes

Of the $33,034 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $29,884 (90%) — went to operating costs and overhead. Operating costs consumed 90% of everything it spent; $3,000 went to Tennessee candidates.

Why this number?

Operating share of spending compares operating spending with total spent.

Source filings:

“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 $3,000 to candidates, while tracked candidates reported receiving $0. Of the $3,000 difference, $3,000 went to recipients not tracked here (itemized below).

Its filing also reports $3,000 in candidate contributions to recipients not tracked here — federal, local, and out-of-state races, and sitting legislators not on the 2026 ballot:

  • Ashworth, Julie BYRD $1,500.00
  • Carfi, Mary Alice $500.00
  • Lauren Rider for City Council $500.00
  • Seema Singh for City Council $500.00

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 $150 to 1 candidate and committee outside Tennessee, across 1 state. 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.
