Webp campaign11

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

The committee paid $284,000 to 12 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 Laurie Pohutsky for Hd 19. It spent $12,363 during that period on 14 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.
