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

The committee paid $1,978 to three vendors.

The largest expense was $573 paid to Bannerbuzz based in Brooklyn for banner.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Jackson County during the month came from Committee to Elect Sarah Lightner. It spent $1,389 during that period on 14 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.
