Brighter Michigan PAC (Super PAC) spent the most out of all the political committees based in cities associated with Macomb County during September, 2021, according to the Michigan Department of State.

The committee paid $10,595 to 17 vendors.

The largest expense was $383 paid to Namebadges.com based in Sterling Heights for namebadges for event.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Macomb County during the month came from Committee to Elect Charles Berschback Municipal Judge. It spent $4,021 during that period on nine 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.
