LANSING, Mich. — Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's campaign has sent $3.5 million in funds it raised above normal contribution limits to the Michigan Democratic Party, according to a disclosure filed Monday.
The new report from the Democratic governor revealed she raised $2.5 million over the final campaign finance period of 2021, from Oct. 21 through the end of the year, and a financial windfall for state Democrats.
Her campaign previously used a policy from the 1980s to collect nearly $4 million in contributions above the state's normal giving limits, according to an October Detroit News analysis. Individual donors are usually capped at $7,150 for a statewide candidate.
