Richard Paar from Duck contributed a total of $250 to the campaign of Democratic Party candidate Josh Stein, according to North Carolina State Board of Elections.

There were 23 total contributions made to political candidates and committees by individuals and organizations in Duck, 100 percent of which have gone to Democratic Party causes and candidates.

The candidate that received the most money in contributions from the individuals and organizations was the Democratic Party candidate Roy Cooper.

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. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, eleven states have no limits on how much can be contributed to a candidate by individual donors, while the other 39 states often limit the amount someone can contribute based on the office the candidate is running for.
