Campaigncash47

Wentworth Majority Fund PAC spent the most out of all the political committees based in cities associated with Ingham County during April, 2021, according to the Michigan Department of State.

The committee paid $184,200 to 20 vendors.

The largest expense was $125 paid to Governor's Room-Karoub based in East Lansing for room rental.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Ingham County during the month came from Gretchen Whitmer for Governor. It spent $162,614 during that period on 56 different vendors.

What’s known as “dark money,” which comes from political non-profits and shell corporations, has greatly increased expenditures and donations in recent elections to record-breaking highs.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer outspent her opponents by a wide margin, spending nearly $600,000 more than the second-highest spending candidate.

Political campaign financial data is often updated, leading to a sometimes incomplete picture of a committee or candidate's finances.
