The biggest bucks came from other sources, such as Steve Ellman, a Valley developer and former co-owner of the Phoenix Coyotes hockey team, and James Liautaud, CEO of the Jimmy John's sandwich franchise.
According to the post-general election report filed by Joel Fox on July 13, the contributions to the SCA from the sheriff's command staff (SCA reportedly stands for Sheriff's Command Association), came from payroll deductions between November 22, 2006 and November 21, 2008.
Here are the names of the deputies in the report and the total contributed. Contributions were deducted $50 per paycheck; the higher the amount, the longer the deductions continued.
Dave Hendershott, Chief Deputy -- $2,650
Jesse N. Locksa -- $300
Larry Black, Director -- $950
Frank Munnell, Deputy Chief, Patrol -- $2,400
Joel Fox, Captain -- $2,050
Scott Freeman, Deputy Chief, Special Investigations -- $1,800
Brian Sands -- $2,000
Fox also filed a June 30 report that shows who wrote the biggest checks to the SCA:
Steve Ellman, Phoenix, developer -- $25,000 on April 25, 2007
James Wikert, Dallas, self-employed -- $25,000 on July 23, 2007 and $5,000 on August 30, 2007
