Cash Call! Rep. Herkes Raises Money During Session

By /
For $500 a seat at his latest fundraiser, Rep. Bob Herkes appears to take top prize when it comes to suggested donations.

There’s a long list of other lawmakers who have held fundraisers during session.

Capitol Watch reports:

On Day 55 of the 2012 Hawaii Legislature, Bob Herkes, who is weighing a state Senate run, has scheduled a campaign fundraiser at Michaels (that’s what it says on the filing disclosure, but maybe he meant Michel’s).

That’s Tuesday (April 24) for $500 a pop.

Among those giving Herkes money in 2011 were Calvin Say’s PAC, Outrigger, Altria, Pfizer, Anheuser-Busch, roofing contractors and Monsanto.
