Jonathan Lindsey for State Senate spent the most out of all the political committees based in cities associated with Jackson County during the third quarter of 2021, according to the Michigan Department of State.

The committee paid $5,469 to 10 vendors.

The largest expense was $1,000 paid to Hillsdale-based Hilldale Co. GOP for sponsorship.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Jackson County during the quarter came from Committee to Elect Sarah Lightner. It spent $2,210 during the time period on 12 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.
