Kahele Misses Deadline To Receive Public Campaign Funds

Congressman Kai Kahele is ineligible to receive public campaign funds in his run for governor after he and his campaign failed to meet last month’s deadline to file a mandatory signed and notarized affidavit promising to abide by campaign spending limits of $2.1 million for the August 2022 primary.

Kahele released the following statement about the Public Financing Ineligibility:
“The ineligibility of our campaign to receive a public funding match rests solely on my shoulders. Although we received over 2,000+ individual donations across the State contributing to our grassroots campaign, we missed the affidavit affirming our commitment to the $2 million expenditure limit. If getting big money out of politics is our goal, we need to make the State’s partial public funding process easier and more streamlined for all candidates. I know we will need to work twice as hard, and Maria, our team, and I are looking forward to continuing to build on the incredible energy that we are experiencing towards our vision for Hawaiʻi.”
