Republican Larry Zacarese, who is seeking the GOP nomination for Suffolk County sheriff, has filed his first campaign finance report, showing he has raised $94,366 — although $77,919 came from loans from friends and family.

Zacarese, 41, of Kings Park, a former New York City police sergeant who is assistant chief of the Stony Brook University police, also held a December fundraiser where he raised $14,052.

Another GOP sheriff hopeful, Fred Sale, a former Suffolk County police officer from Amityville, has filed papers for a campaign committee. Sale has had no campaign finance activity for the past six months and has $106 in his coffers.
