Where the Money Goes

Of the $397,600 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $357,950 (90%) — went to activity outside Tennessee.

Why this number?

Operating / overhead spending divided by everything this committee spent (each expenditure lands in exactly one bucket).

Operating spending: $150 ÷ Total spent: $397,600
Inputs behind Operating share of spending
Operating / overhead spending $150
Contributions to candidates $18,500

“Spent outside Tennessee” is a multi-state committee’s lump non-Tennessee disbursement — not itemized to recipients, and separate from out-of-state donors.
