Bob Orr has given $3,640 to Republican candidates and groups in the past decade.
According to a quick review of campaign contributions listed on Open Secrets and Follow the Money, the Republican gubernatorial candidate has not given as much as his competitors.
As with Fred Smith and Pat McCrory, the biggest beneficiary was the Republican Party. From 1999 to 2001, Orr gave the state party's executive committee $1,840.
He also gave $500 to Congressional candidate Virginia Johnson in 2004, $500 to Mitt Romney's presidential campaign in 2007, $300 in total to Keith Presnell's bid for state Senate in 2005 and 2006, and $250 to Supreme Court Justice Mark Martin's campaign in 2005.
Orr also gave $250 to his own campaign in 2001—which is actually $156 less than Smith gave him for that same race.
