Garrett for Michigan spent the most out of all the political committees based in cities associated with Kalamazoo County during October, 2021, according to the Michigan Department of State.

The committee paid $47,232 to 31 vendors.

The largest expense was $3,131 paid to Am Solutions based in Portage for direct mail.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Kalamazoo County during the month came from Matthew Deperno for Michigan. It spent $20,224 during that period on 11 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 outspent her opponents by a wide margin, spending nearly $600,000 more than the second-highest spending candidate.

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