The largest expense was for Payroll Expenses to AFSCME Council 5, which is based in South St. Paul.
The second largest political spend from a committee operating in a city within Dakota County during the fourth quarter of 2022 came from Suburban School Emp Local 284 Political Act Fund. It spent $12,116 during the time period on 18 different vendors.
Political campaign financial data is often updated at the end of each quarter, leading to a sometimes incomplete picture of a committee or candidate's finances.
The highest earning Minnesota candidate in the 2022 politician race received nearly $8 million and won their Congressional race.
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.
