Where the Money Goes

Of the $22,800 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $17,500 (77%) — went to operating costs and overhead.

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: $17,500 ÷ Total spent: $22,800
Inputs behind Operating share of spending
Operating / overhead spending $17,500
Contributions to candidates $2,200

“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.
