Contra Costa sheriff deputies’ union donates $50K to recall effort against DA Diana Becton

THE CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Deputy Sheriff’s Association is throwing in its financial support to help recall District Attorney Diana Becton — $50,000 of it, a treasurer for the union’s political spending groups said.  

The donation, made through the union’s independent expenditure group, is the largest the pro-recall group has received so far, according to county campaign finance records. The recall effort raised $8,740 before the deputies’ addition.
