I took a look at the endorsement list and was surprised, found out some folks were improperly listed and so I thought I’d look at the campaign finance reports, because support there is unmistakable. And of course, I found more interesting stuff that I expected. And I’m wondering, do these folks all support his ICE policies? Many of the names, of course, are the same.
NOTE: There are several “apparently lives in his office” type comments, which makes me wonder, were these individual contributions, or corporate contributions. If not corporate contributions, why would you list workplace addresses instead of home addresses? I’m pretty shocked, especially for the state employees that they would list them this way. I’m pretty sure that this doesn’t comply with the campaign finance laws. The campaign finance booklet from the state reads as follows:
Committee treasurers must exercise diligence in acquiring and furnishing the contributor information required on the receipts schedules. Under current state law, treasurers and candidates are required to make a “good faith effort” to obtain all information required on the reports. For all contributors giving over $20, you must disclose the individuals name and address. If the individual’s year-to-date total exceeds $100, you must also provide the occupation, name and address of the principal place of employment.
At the time this manual was being revised, the Elections Board was in the process of drafting a rule which would require the return or donation of contributions with incomplete contributor information. Under the proposed rule, committees would be required to furnish the information within a specified number of days from the due date of the report, or be required to return the contribution or donate it to a charity. Elections
Board staff will keep state registrants informed of changes in the requirements for reporting contributor information as they occur.
This really doesn’t look like a “good faith effort” by our sheriff. Anyways, here’s the contributors:
