Friends of Mark Huizenga spent the most out of all the political committees based in cities associated with Kent County during the third quarter of 2021, according to the Michigan Department of State.

The committee paid $166,164 to 10 vendors.

The largest expense was $21,750 paid to Lansing-based State of Michigan for recount.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Kent County during the quarter came from Committee to Elect Tommy Brann for State Senate. It spent $78,325 during the time period on 10 different vendors.
