Riley Tops Supervisors in Reelection Funding : War chests: Harriett M. Wieder reported just $148.40 in contributions. She has relied heavily on loans to cover $21,752.43 in expenses since July.

Veteran Supervisor Thomas F. Riley was the top fund-raiser among the three Orange County supervisors up for reelection in June, with campaign contributions totaling $107,100, according to financial statements filed this week.

Supervisor Harriett M. Wieder of Huntington Beach has raised the least of the three board members on the campaign trail, reporting $148.40 in contributions.

Newly elected Board Chairman Don R. Roth raised $71,172 during the latest reporting period, July 1 to Dec. 31. He has $103,762 in cash on hand, financial statements show.

The other two supervisors, Roger R. Stanton and Gaddi H. Vasquez are not up for reelection this year.

Among Riley’s largest contributors were Barry Brief of the Stein-Brief Group, Ranney E. Draper of Diversified Shopping Centers and Laguna Niguel Investors, who contributed $1,000 each. During the reporting period, Riley spent $35,061 on campaign consultants, postage and printed materials. He had $88,071 cash on hand, financial statements show.

Roth’s largest single contribution of $2,800 came from the political action committee of the Assn. of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs, with headquarters in Garden Grove. The PAC gave Roth, who is often at odds with Sheriff Brad Gates, $4,050 during 1989. Roth had $103,762 in cash on hand.

Along with contributions from major developers, Roth, a former Anaheim city councilman, also received campaign money from the Anaheim Police Officers Assn.’s PAC, plus $700 from Disneyland, $500 from the Lettuce Amuse U Comedy School Inc. and $2,500 from the Los Angeles Fire Fighters Local 1014.

On the other side of the ledger, Roth spent $43,958 during the latest reporting period, most of which went for such campaign-related expenses as postage, meals, consultants, and to pay the firm running his reelection effort, Campaign Management Inc. of Newport Beach.

Wieder’s campaign spending has far outpaced her fund raising, according to financial statements. Wieder, who is seeking her fourth term, has spent $21,752.43 since July. She has relied heavily on loans to cover expenses so far, her statements show.

The most recent loan to Wieder’s campaign, $9,000, was received in July; it could not be determined who made the loan. The required form detailing the loan was left out of Wieder’s financial statement, and she could not be reached for comment.

Wieder has also received two earlier loans totaling $40,000.

Wieder’s campaign funds paid for a trip to Europe last fall, where she attended a women’s forum at a cost of $2,237, according to her financial statement. She also attended the prestigious John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, where the tuition was $5,800.

Among her other large expenditures were $1,200 in attorney fees paid to the Washington law firm of Wunder, Ryan, Cannon & Thelan. No details on the expense were available.

Gates, who made public his decision to seek reelection a few weeks ago, raised $1,000 during the filing period. Gates, who faces no serious opposition in his bid for a fifth term, had long been expected to seek reelection. He received a total of $127,050 in campaign contributions in 1989, financial statements show.

Gates had received just one contribution since July: $1,000 from George Argyros, owner of a Costa Mesa development firm. The two largest expenses reported for his campaign during the latest reporting period were $6,876 paid to an accounting firm for preparing his campaign expense reports and $2,121 in car phone bills.
