The Committee to Elect Tom Kunse spent the most out of all the political committees based in cities associated with Clare County during August, 2021, according to the Michigan Department of State.

The committee paid $3,393 to nine vendors.

The largest expense was $687 paid to 505 Cafe based in Clare for food for fundraiser.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Clare County during the month came from Committee to Elect Jason Wentworth. It spent $43 during that 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.

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.
