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

The committee paid $142,150 to 10 vendors.

The largest expense was $30,000 paid to DeWitt-based Tom Leonard for Michigan for direct contribution.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Clinton County during the quarter came from Victory Values Fund. It spent $29,738 during the time period on four 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 of Michigan accounted for the largest expenditures among the state candidates, surpassing $33 million in total.

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