Russell Ruderman's fund raiser

[kjlpahoa]

Russell Ruderman appears to be starting the New Year with a fund raiser. For what, I can only guess that it is for his war chest for his re-election. Is he holding it in his own District or even on the Big Island; NO!!!, he is holding it in Honolulu on January 8, 2015 at the Mandalay Restaurant. My question is, Is he holding the fund raiser in Honolulu to go after the big corporate monies, or the Mainland Companies, or the support of the Oahu Legislators? Whatever the reason, has he given up on this own District or County for his financial support? Maybe he has lost faith in his own constituents and feels it necessary to buy votes with outside money. For a Senator who not long ago stated his concerns about Senators on the take, this certainly appears that he now wants to also be obligated to big money concerns. So much for home rule.
