Gretchen Whitmer for Governor spent the most out of all the political committees based in cities associated with Ingham County during June, 2021, according to the Michigan Department of State.

The committee paid $435,205 to 76 vendors.

The largest expense was $2,000 paid to Nancy Wesley based in Lansing for accidental amount.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Ingham County during the month came from Sollars Leadership PAC. It spent $29,200 during that period on eight 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.
