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

The committee paid $42,375 to three vendors.

The largest expense was $41,975 paid to House Republican Campaign Committee based in Clare for direct contribution.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Clare County during the month came from The Committee to Elect Tom Kunse. It spent $3,726 during that period on six 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.
