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

The committee paid $2,481 to eight vendors.

The largest expense was $600 paid to Lansing-based Capitol Facilities for flags for constituents.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Isabella County during the quarter came from Committee to Elect Todd Schorle II. It spent $435 during the time period on two 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.

Total political expenditures in the 2022 elections amounted to more than $444 million.

Political campaign financial data is often updated, leading to a sometimes incomplete picture of a committee or candidate's finances.
