Aric Nesbitt for State Senate spent the most out of all the political committees based in cities associated with Van Buren County during the first quarter of 2021, according to the Michigan Department of State.

The committee paid $82,351 to six vendors.

The largest expense was $40,000 paid to Lansing-based Senate Republican Campaign Committee for contribution.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Van Buren County during the quarter came from Whiteford Leadership Fund. It spent $16,093 during the time period on three 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.
