Campaigncash32

Committee to Elect TC Clements spent the most out of all the political committees based in cities associated with Monroe County during the first quarter of 2021, according to the Michigan Department of State.

The committee paid $8,872 to four vendors.

The largest expense was $3,000 paid to Lansing-based House Republican Campaign Committee for campaign contribution.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Monroe County during the quarter came from Committee to Elect Joe Bellino. It spent $2,550 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.
