Charissa Potts for Judge spent the most out of all the political committees based in cities associated with Macomb County during November, 2021, according to the Michigan Department of State.

The committee paid $620 to Facebook Inc. for facebook ads.

The largest expense was $620 paid to Facebook Inc. based in Eastpointe for facebook ads.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Macomb County during the month came from Committee to Elect Charles Berschback Municipal Judge. It spent $519 during that period on two 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.

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.
