The committee paid $979,281 to five vendors.
The largest expense was $1,393 paid to Clark Hill PLC based in Royal Oak for legal services.
The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Oakland County during the month came from United Wholesale Mortgage PAC. It spent $18,706 during that 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.
During the 2020 elections, candidates spent roughly $41 million. This is in sharp contrast to the previous federal election cycle, when Michigan candidates spent nearly $150 million.
Political campaign financial data is often updated, leading to a sometimes incomplete picture of a committee or candidate's finances.
