Markkanen Leadership Fund spent the most out of all the political committees based in a city associated with Houghton County during the third quarter of 2021, according to the Michigan Department of State.

The committee paid $595 to Quincy Mine Hoist Association for group tour fees.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Houghton County during the quarter came from Committee to Elect Gregory J. Markkanen. It spent $526 during the time period on three 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.

Total political expenditures in the 2022 elections amounted to more than $444 million.

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