Michigan State Police Troopers Association: Retired Troopers PAC

 

The Troopers Association has two PACs, one for active troopers and one for retired troopers. The retired troopers PAC is discussed below; the active troopers PAC is discussed here.

 

Based on campaign finance reports submitted by the Retired Troopers PAC, it appears that retired troopers finance their PAC themselves. It appears they made two contributions in 2015, on February 9 and October 19. The amounts were usually the same on both dates, but vary by individual retiree. The most common amount by far was $20.00; others include $7.50, $10.00, $12.50, $17.50, and $80.00.

 

In 2014, they made one contribution, almost all on either February 9 or October 19. Most contributions were for $20. 132 retirees contributed.

 

The following figures are from the Retired Troopers PAC's last 5 campaign finance reports:
