SUBJECT:
(March 2026) Request for Wake County, NC Government: All “full-time” and “part-time” employees and their salaries. As of present day.
MESSAGE:
Good evening Records Officer / Custodian(s) of these Records,
Please reply promptly to the following public records request, which I’m making in accordance with NC Public Records Law. https://www.ncleg.net/enactedlegislation/statutes/html/bychapter/chapter_132.html
Please provide the names and salaries of all Wake County, NC “full-time” and “part-time” employees as of the present day [on the date the query is performed]. I consider the term “employee” to apply to any full or part time employees, staff, board or council member, manager, elected official, etc. Please include the following:
A. First / Last name
B. Position / title / department
C. Date of hire
D. “Full-time” or “Part-time” designation
E. Salary [include hourly wage, hourly rate, or annual salary -- whichever payment structure is applicable to the employee]
Ideally, I’d like to receive this info in an Excel or other machine-readable format. However, I’ll accept the records in any electronic medium in which you’re capable of producing them.
** I’m simply requesting an electronic copy of an electronic record, if one exists. I’m NOT asking for the opportunity to come in person to “inspect”, nor to obtain a printed copy of, this electronic record. I’m requesting explicitly that any responsive info be provided to me via the electronic medium / electronic format (in which the copy of this record already exists). If you are unable to fulfill any or all parts of this request, please specifically cite where a reason for denial is justified under NC Public Records Law. **
————————————
Please note that by submitting this request, I’m NOT agreeing to pay any potential fees or associated costs related to my request. If it isn’t possible to process the request without incurring fees, then please let me know the itemized potential cost and clear explanations of those charges upfront, and DO NOT proceed until I respond.
By Law I’m not required to provide a name or address to associate with a public records request, but in order to move things along I’d like to clarify that this request is being made by:
Sunshine Request
PO Box 17391
Asheville, NC 28816
The request has been sent solely by me and my email address [email protected] . If anyone other than that email address contacts you to pursue a similar request, it did not come from me. Please do not commingle or treat that as an alteration or cancellation of my request – I intend to continue to pursue my request.
Thank you for your assistance!

I sent the following message on 04/08/26 @ 5:48pm, via email within the NextRequest portal. I did not receive a response, and so I am following up here as well. To reiterate:
Thank you for providing the responsive records on April 06. I consider the request to now be Completed. However, I’d like to ask again that you please “Publish” (make public) this request on your NextRequest platform. As of now, you still have my request marked as “Unpublished”. It is a feature of the NextRequest platform, that you’re able to Publish requests so that they’re viewable / searchable by the general public.
I’d like for this information to be publicly available on your site (as you should also do with all other completed / published requests you have currently — since there are 0 showing as of now).

Thank you.
