Webp campaigncheck02

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

The committee paid $10,700 to two vendors.

The largest expense was $5,000 paid to 4th Congressional District GOP for direct political party contribution.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Clinton County during the quarter came from Graham Filler for State Representation. It spent $7,452 during the time period on 10 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.

Total political expenditures made by candidates in the 2022 elections amounted to $147 million.

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