Pending: Beson Timothy spent the most out of all the political committees based in cities associated with Bay County during October, 2021, according to the Michigan Department of State.

The committee paid $2,379 to 11 vendors.

The largest expense was $100 paid to Robert Anderson based in Bay City for reimb-reagan dinner.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Bay County during the month came from Annette Glenn for Michigan. It spent $348 during that period on one vendor.

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.
