Who funds this campaign The sources split breaks down everything the campaign raised: the candidate’s own money (including self-loans), individuals (including unitemized small gifts), organizations and PACs, and “other” (in-kind contributions, loans other than the candidate’s, and the like) — open its “Why this number?” for the full breakdown. Gift-size and location figures cover itemized contributions only. Aggregates count everyone who gave, including donors below the $200 disclosure floor — a share across all donors identifies no one. Full definition →

The candidate’s own money made up 50% of the campaign’s funds — individuals gave 48%, organizations and PACs 2%.

Candidate’s own money $4K · 50% Individuals $4K · 48% Organizations & PACs $150 · 2%
Why this number?

Everything the campaign raised, split into the candidate's own money (own contributions plus self- and family loans), individuals, organizations and PACs, and everything else — loans other than the candidate's, in-kind contributions, and (for federal filers) committee transfers and other receipts. Unitemized small donations count as individual money. The parts add up to the total raised. The headline share is the candidate divided by the total.

From the candidate's own money: $4,108 ÷ Everything the campaign raised: $8,148
Inputs behind Share from the candidate
Candidate's own money (incl. self-loans) $4,108
From individuals $3,890
From organizations and PACs $150

Why this number?

Shown only above 99% state coverage. Based on itemized contributions only (loans and money a filer reported as an unitemized lump sum are not included).

Itemized money from outside Tennessee: $0 ÷ Itemized money with a known state: $2,800

Where the money went Each expenditure carries a short description of what it was for, written by the campaign. We sort those descriptions into a fixed set of categories; one expenditure goes in one category, so the amounts add up to Andrea Bell’s itemized spending. Descriptions that don’t clearly fit a category are counted under Other rather than guessed at.
