Rep. Kawakami Held Fundraiser During Session

By /
Derek Kawakami was appointed to fill a Kauai seat in the state House of Representatives just last year, but — no surprise — he’s already receiving campaign donations.

The money comes from Outrigger, Altria Client Services and Calvin Say‘s PAC, Citizens for Responsive Government.

Kawakami held a fundraiser Tuesday (April 17) at Mandalay Restaurant downtown — Day 50 of the 2012 Hawaii Legislature. The suggested contribution was $50.
