Following the Campaign Money Trail(s)

[Guest]

I urge everyone to read this report:

Major Contributors to Billy Kenoi's Hawaii County Mayoral Campaign and follow the money trail in the links.

Why is there so much off island contributions to Kenoi's Campaign?[]

Thanks Damon, that could have helped him awhile ago when it was claimed he did accept such funds. Sure explains his underdog status for advertising.

Really, gtill points up the issue at hand:

Advertising and campaign contributions are not what is driving the Pilago campaign, as they are the Kenoi campaign.

What the Angel Pilago campaign -- candidate, ohana, tribes of volunteers, and modest financial support -- is about community building and grassroots government. Not so, the Kenoi campaign.

Campaign donations, media sound-bite saturation, and such like, are a drag on democratic progress.
The Angel Pilago for Mayor campaign volunteers find, almost daily, as we meet and talk with intended-Kenoi voters, many are just reciting the name and know not a lot more (a few report intimidation from employers and/or unions). Once they are introduced to who Angel Pilago is and what he has done, they frequently turn -- Kenoi media blitz versus Pilago people's campaign.
