Committee to Elect Ken Borton spent the most out of all the political committees based in cities associated with Otsego County during July, 2021, according to the Michigan Department of State.

The committee paid $2,700 to two vendors.

The largest expense was $200 paid to Bright Spark Strategies based in Gaylord for bookkeeping (done in house).

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.
