Campaign16

Committee to Elect Mark Huizenga spent the most out of all the political committees based in cities associated with Kent County during January, 2021, according to the Michigan Department of State.

The committee paid $40,400 to two vendors.

The largest expense was $100 paid to Adobe Inc. based in Walker for software.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Kent County during the month came from Pending: Land Terri. It spent $39,500 during that period on seven 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.
