The committee paid $47,000 to three vendors.
The largest expense was $20,000 paid to House Republican Campaign Committee based in Troy for direct contribution.
The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Oakland County during the month came from Kyra Harris Bolden for State Representative. It spent $21,731 during that period on nine 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.
