Here are the 50 North Carolina political committees that received the largest financial contributions during the week ending June 3, according to the North Carolina State Board of Elections.

The contribution limit for North Carolina candidates and political committees has increased to $6,400.

Donations made to political groups or candidates must be disclosed under state law for greater transparency in elections. While Congress created the Federal Election Commission to oversee federal elections in 1974, each state is left to regulate its local elections.

Despite this legislation, disclosures of political contributions can be unclear or murky due to gaps in information and misreporting.
