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

The committee paid $830 to two vendors.

The largest expense was $750 paid to 4th Congressional Republican Committee based in Clare for sponsorship donation.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Isabella County during the month came from Committee to Elect Todd Schorle II. It spent $750 during that period on one vendor.

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.

The amount raised and spent by candidates in the 2020 election cycle paled in comparison to the amounts raised in the 2016 election. Data from Transparency USA showed candidates in 2020 spent only roughly one-quarter ($136 million) of what was spent in 2016 ($445 million).

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