Although voter turnout and candidate fundraising numbers for local elections pale in comparison to those for national and state elections, the role that money plays is still a significant one.
Democrats running for seats on the Wake County Commission have raised more than six times the funds that Republicans have brought in this election cycle.
No matter how this year’s elections shake out, Republicans will maintain the majority on Wake’s County Commission. But if Dems hope to retake the majority any time soon, they’ll need to win all three seats this year.
