For those who are serious about their policy and politics, the most recent Campaign Spending Reports through June 30, 2025 as posted on August 10, 2025 can be found at: https://csc.hawaii.gov/CFSPublic/menu/

I encourage folks to review the data within the reports, which reveals the names of every campaign donor that contributes $100 or more AND the campaign expenses – in some detail.

Civil Beat recently posted some updates as well. Data Dive: Campaign Donations Plummeted During Legislative Session

Below is a “top to bottom” ranking of the money available in campaign spending bank accounts – for every incumbent politician in every State and County political office in Hawaii, including Office of Hawaiian Affairs. I’ll be digging deeper into this…in the future and if/when I find stuff that stands out or especially interesting…I’ll let you know!
