Where the Money Goes

Of the $27,705 this committee reported spending, the largest share — $27,705 (100%) — went to operating costs and overhead. Operating costs consumed 100% of everything it spent; none of it reached Tennessee candidates as direct contributions.

Why this number?

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