Campaign09

Committee to Elect Adam Wiley spent the most out of all the political committees based in cities associated with Macomb County during the first quarter of 2021, according to the Michigan Department of State.

The committee paid $9,156 to three vendors.

The largest expense was $5,614 paid to East Lansing-based Rogue Consulting for communications consulting.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Macomb County during the quarter came from Hertel for Michigan. It spent $2,457 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.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan accounted for the largest expenditures among the state candidates, surpassing $33 million in total.

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