How did Clinton County-based Wentworth Majority Fund PAC become the biggest spender in March?

Webp campaign05

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

The committee paid $10,700 to four vendors.

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

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Clinton County during the month came from Friends of Ruth Johnson. It spent $1,500 during that period on one vendor.

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.
