State Rep. Marcus Oshiro is suggesting a $500 donation for a re-election campaign fundraiser 6 p.m. Thursday at Downtown at the Hawaii State Art Museum.

That’s a hefty sum for a man who was unopposed in the 2010 Democratic primary and defeated his Republican opponent in the general by a 2-to-1 margin. In 2008 he ran unopposed.

As of June 30, 2011, Oshiro, the House Finance chair, reported that his campaign had $62,000 in cash on hand.
