Citizens for Carlson, based in city within Linn County, was the only political committee in the county with expenses during the fourth quarter of 2022.

It spent $1,053 on four vendors during the time period.

The largest expense was for Advertisement to Carter Media LLC/KMZU, which is based in Carrollton.

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.

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