Webp campaigncheck17

Michigan Action spent the most out of all the political committees based in cities associated with Wayne County during September, 2021, according to the Michigan Department of State.

The committee paid $490,727 to 285 vendors.

The largest expense was $1,000 paid to Campaign Finance Services based in Detroit for campaign finance compliance services.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Wayne County during the month came from Northwest Wayne County State - Local PAC. It spent $19,289 during that period on 38 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.
