Here are the North Carolina political committees that received financial contributions during the week ending July 22, according to the North Carolina State Board of Elections.

North Carolina Democrats and Republicans donated roughly equal amounts during the 2022 midterm election cycle.

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.
