Why this number?

The ending cash balance the campaign reported on its most recent filing (as filed, not computed).

Reported on this filing:
  • Q1 2026 Amendment $14,002 filing-stated

Sum of every receipt bucket: itemized + the candidate's own money + loans + filer-stated unitemized + (federal) transfers and other receipts + in-kind.

Inputs behind Total raised
Itemized contributions (gross) $45,263
Candidate's own contributions $500
Loans $12,000
In-kind contributions (goods & services) $779
Total raised $58,542
From each filing: Not attributable to a single filing:
Loans $12,000 derived

Filings restate outstanding loans each period, so a loan belongs to the campaign rather than to any one filing.

Itemized expenditure rows plus the stated spending a filer reported as a lump sum without itemizing it.

Inputs behind Total spent
Itemized expenditures $55,668
Total spent $55,668
From each filing:

Itemized contributions from a state other than Tennessee, divided by everything the campaign raised (shown only when the state of most itemized money is known — above 99% coverage).

Itemized money from outside Tennessee: $3,975 ÷ Total raised: $58,542

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 21% of the campaign’s funds — individuals gave 70%, organizations and PACs 7%, and other sources 2%.

Candidate’s own money $13K · 21% Individuals $41K · 70% Organizations & PACs $4K · 7% Other sources $1K · 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: $12,500 ÷ Everything the campaign raised: $58,542

Candidate's own money (incl. self-loans) $12,500

Gift size Each individual donor’s total giving to this campaign this cycle. Organizations, PACs, and the candidate’s own money are excluded (this is about people); a donor who gave under several name spellings is counted once. A donor named on the page can still sit in a small bucket — these are cycle totals, not “unnamed donors.” Full definition →

Why this number?

Every individual donor's total contributions to this campaign, divided by the number of individual donors. Organizations and PACs are excluded (this measures people); a donor who gave under several name spellings is counted once. The median and the gift-size buckets are computed over the same individual-donor totals. Based on itemized contributions only (loans and money a filer reported as an unitemized lump sum are not included).

Where the money comes from Shares of itemized dollars, by the contributor’s state and city as filed. A city is named only when at least 5 donors gave from it or it holds at least 5% of the located dollars; everyone else is grouped into “elsewhere.” Shown only when at least 80% of dollars carry a usable state. Full definition →

91% of located dollars came from within Tennessee (9% from out of state).

Why this number?

Itemized contribution dollars from outside Tennessee, divided by all itemized dollars whose contributor state is known. A city is named only when at least 5 donors gave from it OR it holds at least 5% of the located dollars; everyone else is grouped into elsewhere-in-Tennessee and other-out-of-state. 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).

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 Willie Brooks’s itemized spending. Descriptions that don’t clearly fit a category are counted under Other rather than guessed at.

Loans

Campaign loans
Lender Amount Date Received Outstanding Repaid

Each loan shows its balance from the candidate's most recent filing; a candidate's self-loans are combined into a single line. Repayments since that filing appear when the next report is filed.
