Fifteen of 24 Michigan House committee chairs raised less money than the average member this cycle

Elections for all 110 seats in the Michigan House of Representatives took place on Nov. 8, 2022. Republicans held a 56-53 majority heading into the election.

Committee chair fundraising

State legislative committee chairs set a committee’s legislative agenda. Some committee chairs raise significantly more money than their non-chair counterparts in the state legislature. The average amount raised by delegates who did not serve as a committee chair was $209,365. The funds raised by each of the House’s 24 committee chairs are shown below.

The data above are based on campaign finance reports that active Michigan PACs submitted to the Michigan Secretary of State. Political expenditures that are not controlled by candidates or their campaigns, known as satellite spending, are not included in candidate totals. Federal PACs are not required to report to state agencies. Transparency USA publishes campaign finance data following major reporting deadlines.
