An anti-domestic violence billboard campaign aimed at comments made by suspended Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi was financed in part by donations from supporters of a rival candidate for sheriff. Screenshot courtesy Loudsauce.com.<\/p><\/div>\n

By Luke Thomas<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

April 19, 2012<\/p>\n

A political campaign consultant representing a rival candidate in the race for San Francisco Sheriff last year – as well as several of the rival candidate’s political supporters – contributed funds to a recent anti-domestic violence billboard campaign denouncing comments made by suspended Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi, a Fog City Journal<\/em> investigation has revealed.<\/p>\n

The contributions to the billboard campaign launched by La Casa de las Madres<\/a> – a city-funded non-profit organization committed to preventing domestic violence and providing support services to victims of domestic violence \u2013 may suggest the contributions were, in part, politically motivated.<\/p>\n

The billboard campaign, funded on LoudSauce.com, took aim at comments made by Mirkarimi following his swearing in January 8<\/a> when he said an altercation involving his wife, Eliana Lopez, on New Year\u2019s Eve, was \u201ca private, family matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seizing on the Sheriff’\u2019s comments to advance their cause, the\u00a0La Casa billboards displayed, \u201cDomestic violence is never a private matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

La Casa de las Madres regularly uses street advertising to spread its anti-domestic violence message, according to records provided by the organization.<\/p>\n

Five billboards – one in English costing $4,000 and four in Spanish costing $2,500 – were funded by 137 donations from 102 individual donors, according to records obtained by Fog City Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people donated to the English billboard, then donated again to the Spanish language billboard campaign,\u201d said La Casa de las Madres executive director Kathy Black. \u201cJust a couple of people donated $250.\u201d<\/p>\n

Grant Martin, a senior account executive at Storefront Political Media, the consultancy firm that managed Chris Cunnie\u2019s 2011 campaign for Sheriff, contributed $250 to the La Casa billboard campaign, Martin confirmed.<\/p>\n

The average donation to the campaign was $47.<\/p>\n

\u201cI made the contribution because I support protecting victims of domestic violence,\u201d Martin said. \u201cI hope others will join me in supporting this important effort.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martin said it was the first time he has made a donation to La Casa de las Madres, but said he has donated funds to other anti-domestic violence groups.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe donation was $250,\u201d Martin said in a follow-up email. \u201cI don’t recall giving to La Casa but have given to numerous DV (domestic violence) groups and I have been involved throughout my adult life helping organizations working to protect vulnerable people from the very powerful, politicians or otherwise.”<\/p>\n

Martin did not return an email asking him to name the other domestic violence groups he said he has contributed to.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs Storefront Political Media somehow behind the Casa De Las Madres people \u2013 I don\u2019t even know any of the Casa De Las Madres people, and I think it\u2019s great that they\u2019re standing up for victims of domestic violence – but we\u2019re not a part of this,\u201d said Storefront Political Media founder Eric Jaye.<\/p>\n

Jaye would not confirm or deny that he had any knowledge of Martin\u2019s billboard campaign contribution.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrant Martin makes his own political contributions – charitable contributions \u2013 it\u2019s not a political contribution, it\u2019s a charitable contribution, and he doesn\u2019t need to run his charitable contributions through me,\u201d Jaye said.<\/p>\n

Twenty-two individuals who contributed to the La Casa billboard campaign also made contributions to at least one political campaign in the last election cycle, records show.\u00a0 Of those 22 individuals, ten (Anne Stuhldreher, Bilen Mesfin, Joyce Newstat, Marjorie Swig, Sharon Johnson, Susan Lowenberg, Tim Silard, Tim Wirth,\u00a0 Roma Guy and Grant Martin ) contributed to the Cunnie campaign for Sheriff.<\/p>\n

Asked to comment on the findings, Corey Cook, a political science professor at the University of San Francisco, said, “Although the findings of the investigation are interesting, I’m not sure if I can conclude anything in the absolute.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mirkarimi co-defense counsel David Waggoner was less cautious in his assessment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe facts speak for themselves,\u201d Waggoner said. \u201cThe billboards were funded by Cunnie supporters.\u00a0Grant Martin’s contribution was over five times the average. Martin\u00a0refuses to say which other DV organizations he’s contributed to, and Eric Jaye refuses to say whether he knew about Martin’s contribution.\u00a0Maybe when\u00a0Jaye said \u2018We’re not part of this,\u2019 he meant the royal\u00a0\u2018we.\u2019”<\/p>\n

Both Mirkarimi and Lopez have maintained from the outset that there has been a political element to Mirkarimi’s prosecution.<\/p>\n

Mayor Ed Lee suspended<\/a> Mirkarimi without pay March 21 on charges of official misconduct after Mirkarimi pleaded guilty<\/a> March 19 to one count of misdemeanor false imprisonment stemming from the alleged incident.<\/p>\n

The Ethics Commission, a quasi-judicial body consisting of five political appointees, is set to investigate Lee’s official misconduct charges during an administrative hearing beginning Monday and present its findings and recommendations, if any, to the Board of Supervisors.\u00a0 The Ethics Commission appointments are made by the offices of Mayor, City Attorney, District Attorney, Assessor and Board of Supervisors.<\/p>\n

Three-fourths of the Board of Supervisors must vote in the affirmative to permanently remove an elected official from office.\u00a0 Should the Board vote to uphold the misconduct charges against Mirkrarimi, an election will be held in November to fill what would become a vacancy. Lee named former Chief Deputy Sheriff Vicki Hennessy to serve as Sheriff in the interim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
