Former East Lansing Mayor Sam Singh has $50,585.69 on hand to spend before the summer primary, a vote which will effectively end the race for the East Lansing seat between to the two Democratic candidates.

So far, Singh has spent $6,770.31 of his balance.

Candidate Susan Schmidt has $40,093.63 on hand, after having spent $9,144.37 within the same period.

So far, Singh’s largest donors have been out-of-district political action committees — some of which have been from mid-Michigan, while others have been from southeast cities such as Detroit and West Bloomfield.

While Singh has received on PAC contributions for several of his largest donations, Schmidt has poured $15,220 of her own money into the campaign. Her personal donation now shows as an outstanding debt in the campaign’s books. Both candidates have relied mostly on individual donors.

Singh’s campaign currently is debt-free.

“We’ll be spending those resources as we get closer to election day,” Singh said. “In the end, it’s going to be an aggressive door-to-door campaign.”

Schmidt, who stepped down as State Rep. Mark Meadows’ chief of staff to run, said more of her expenses will be procedural in reaching out to supporters.

“Any campaign has to start off with the very basic things,” Schmidt said, adding more expenses, such as yard signs and other canvassing materials, likely will come around May as the election begins to pick up more.
