The UAW gave $9,000 in 2008 races.

The auto workers union gave $4,000 to Gov.-elect Beverly Perdue and $1,000 each to Lt. Gov.-elect Walter Dalton, labor commissioner candidate Mary Fant Donnan and state Rep. Lorene Coates, according to campaign finance reports.

It also gave $500 each to Insurance Commissioner-elect Wayne Goodwin, Superintendent of Public Instruction June Atkinson, Treasurer-elect Janet Cowell and Rep. Tricia Cotham.

Goodwin's donation came while he was participating in public financing program for campaigns and would have had to be returned, but there is no record of a refund.
