Committee to Elect Joe Boogren spent the most out of all the political committees based in cities associated with Marquette County during the third quarter of 2021, according to the Michigan Department of State.

The committee paid $7,221 to eight vendors.

The largest expense was $1,350 paid to Ishpeming-based Jason Chapman for campaign management services.

The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Marquette County during the quarter came from Michigan Democratic Party Rural Caucus. It spent $4,847 during the time period on eight different vendors.

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.
