		Total Contributions this election:	$9,880

There are donations from friends, family members and often the candidates themselves in the form of loans.

Esther Jimenez  had 27 donors of $100 or more, both monetary and non-monetary.  While most of the other loans in the other campaigns were non-commercial and no-interest, Esther Jimenez took a $3,800 loan from Arrowhead Credit Union at 9.9% interest.  Esther Jimenez’s three largest donors (other than the loan) were Richard Gonzales of Redlands ($1,550), Candidate for Third District Supervisor James Ramos ($1,000), and the campaign committee of Wilmer Amina Carter ($500), for whom Esther Jimenez works.  First Ward Council Member Virginia Marquez is another notable donor.

Peggi Hazlett’s sole contribution during this period is a $10,000 loan from Tjaarda Dairy in Shafter, California.  William Valle raised $423.81, including a loan from himself and other small contributions.

Gigi Hanna’s loans are self-funded or from her father.  Her monetary contributions are from friends and family.  They include the owner of Trevor’s Rustic Inn in San Bernardino, and former 2nd Ward Council Member Susan Lien Longville, now the Water Resources Institute director at Cal State San Bernardino.  The numbers above vary from Gigi Hanna’s Form 460 because of some addition errors in the original form, which will no doubt be amended if it hasn’t been already.

Amelia Sanchez-Lopez’s three largest donors, other than loans to herself, were $2,928.37 in combined in-kind donations from Friends of Jim Penman for City Attorney 2011, which include her share of a mailer paid for by the San Bernardino Public Employees Association and her share of the joint City Attorney Jim Penman/Amelia Sanchez-Lopez for City Clerk campaign signs, $1,500 from the Matich Corporation, and a tie between Friends of Judi Penman and  former San Bernardino Mayor Evelyn Wilcox at $500 a piece.
