Webp campaign09

Dan Seibert Support Squad spent the most out of all the political committees based in cities associated with Van Buren County during July, 2021, according to the Michigan Department of State.

The committee paid $2,056 to four vendors.

The largest expense was $1,000 paid to Georgia Seibert based in Paw Paw for refund contributions.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Van Buren County during the month came from Aric Nesbitt for State Senate. It spent $414 during that period on six 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.

The amount raised and spent by candidates in the 2020 election cycle paled in comparison to the amounts raised in the 2016 election. Data from Transparency USA showed candidates in 2020 spent only roughly one-quarter ($136 million) of what was spent in 2016 ($445 million).

Political campaign financial data is often updated, leading to a sometimes incomplete picture of a committee or candidate's finances.
