Sheriff's donation listed on HCDCC website to Maggie ; no 497 filed

Under Maggie's candidate's statements on HCDCC website, a donation of $2500 by the Humboldt County Deputy Sheriff's Association is listed but this was not on the last 460s and as of today no 497 has been filed since the last 460s by Maggie's campaign.

This is from the FPPC website: "8 Q. After filing a Form 410, what is the next form required to be filed?

A. Typically the Form 497 (24-Hour Contribution Report) is the next required form. In fact,
the Form 497 may be required to be filed before the Form 410 is required if the
committee qualifies within the 90 days before an election. In the 90 days before the
election, a committee must file a Form 497 within 24 hours each time it receives
contributions that total in the aggregate $1,000 or more from a single source."

The HCDCC meets tomorrow to decide endorsements. Some prominent members of HCDCC support Maggie. There are three DA candidates who are Democrats. Elan is not a registered Democrat so the HCDCC endorsement does not apply. She is not a registered Republican either. She is identifies as independent.

Why has this endorsement not been mentioned anywhere else? Whether this form was filed or not according to the schedule is hard to tell since  there is no date when this contribution was given on the candidate statement.

When I tried to access the HCDCC website today and so did a few others, you cannot access Maggie's candidate statement, there is no link underlined and you get Chris Kerrigan instead. That does not help if people want to check it out.

Looking at 460s, people have made typos on dates like 12/31 instead 1/1 but that is minor.

The filing of the form is something her campaign manager or treasurer should be taking care of but this is the first I have heard of that she received money from the HCDSO.

At the Tea Party debate, Maggie did mention the endorsement. At the Mad River Debate, Allan Dollison asked her specifically about any donation from the HCDSO. There was no response.
