Here are the 50 political committees that received the largest amount of money from contributions during the week ending March 26, according to the North Carolina State Board of Elections.

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.

Data collected on April 20 from the Board of Elections.
