On the most recent quarterly report of state Senate candidate Dolores Gresham appears one $500 contribution in the name of Shelton Wilder. Shelton Wilder, who lists his occupation as “Ginner” is the son of former Lieutenant Governor John Shelton Wilder, the current holder of the seat.

Former Lt. Gov. Wilder has campaigned vigorously for his former aide Randy Camp to keep the seat in Democratic hands. Wilder the Elder has also given a total of $1,500 to the Camp campaign. The seat is a battleground in the race to control the state Senate which is currently divided 16-16-1.
