World Acceptance Corporation PAC
Registered Jan 2003 · Treasurer: John L. Calmes, Jr. · Greenville, SC
Where the Money Goes
Of the $12,713 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $5,500 (43%) — went to Tennessee candidates.
Why this number?
Operating / overhead spending divided by everything this committee spent (each expenditure lands in exactly one bucket).
| Operating / overhead spending | $2,213 |
| Contributions to candidates | $5,500 |
- To TN candidates $5,500 43%
- Spent outside Tennessee $5,000 39%
- Operating & other $2,213 17%
“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.
