Friends of AL Platt, based in cities associated with Transylvania County, was the only political committee in the county with expenses during the first quarter of 2023.
It spent $5,005 on six vendors during the time period.
The largest expense was for Financial Expenses to Jackson County Democratic Party, which is based in the Sylva area.
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.
| Committee | Expenditures | Paid Vendors |
|---|---|---|
| Friends of AL Platt | $5,005 | 6 |
