Campaigncheck21

Albert Majority Fund spent the most out of all the political committees based in cities associated with Kent County during February, 2021, according to the Michigan Department of State.

The committee paid $10,223 to three vendors.

The largest expense was $10,000 paid to HRCC based in Lowell for contribution.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Kent County during the month came from Scholten for Congress. It spent $4,999 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.

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.
