Wilkes SD, based in cities associated with Wilkes County, was the only political committee in the county with expenses during the first quarter of 2023.

It spent $1,499 at Wilkes County Democratic Party, which is based in the North Wilkesboro area, for Unspecified Expenses.

What’s known as “dark money”, which comes from political non-profits and shell corporations, has greatly increased expenditures and donations in recent elections to record-breaking highs.

Political campaign financial data is often updated, leading to a sometimes incomplete picture of a committee or candidate's finances.
