November Surprises
Michigan state senators raised, on average, only 11% of their campaign funds in that period from the districts in which they ran, MLive reports.
Nearly half of elected legislators in both the House and Senate won election after raising no more than 10% of their money from the constituents they sought to represent.
PACs represented a majority of the fundraising for 33 campaigns of the 38 elected senators, and for 66 representatives in the 110-member House.
