Graham's campaign contributions

Bill Graham has given $223,650 to Republican candidates and groups over the past decade.

But he's also given $6,000 to Democrats.

According to a quick review of campaign contributions listed on Open Secrets and Follow the Money, the Republican gubernatorial candidate has donated to a long list of candidates—including Gov. Mike Easley.

As with his primary rivals, the biggest beneficiary has been the GOP.

From 1999 to 2005, Graham gave $52,000 to the Republican National Committee. Between 1998 and 2007, he gave $46,700 to the N.C. Republican Party Executive Committee and $650 to the state Republican Party. And in 2003, he gave $17,000 to the National Republican Congressional Committee.

He also donated to two major political action committees: $15,000 for the Leadership Circle PAC run by U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole, and $10,000 for the American Spirit PAC run by former Sen. Jesse Helms.

Correction: An earlier version of this post misstated the party affiliation of a House candidate.

After the jump, the rest of the donations.
