The late Sen. Dan Inouye’s political legacy continues to play out as his leadership political action committee begins helping out candidates that the senator favored when he was alive.

According to the latest campaign finance filings, Rep. Colleen Hanabusa and Sen. Mazie Hirono each received $10,000 from DANPAC. Inouye’s PAC had roughly $50,000 in unspent funds when he died. Inouye’s main campaign account had more than a quarter-million dollars.

The Federal Election Commission has specific rules about how leftover funds can be used. The officers of Inouye’s campaign committee ultimately decide how to distribute the money to other candidates, PACs or charities.

The PAC didn’t report contributing to Sen. Brian Schatz. Inouye’s dying wish had been for Hanabusa to take over his seat, but the post was given to Schatz.

The PAC contribution limit is $5,000 per election, so DANPAC gave Hirono $5,000 for the 2018 primary and another $5,000 for the 2018 general election. The PAC gave Hanabusa $5,000 each for the 2014 primary and general elections.

The deadline for filing campaign contribution reports is Monday. So far, neither Hanabusa nor Schatz have released their detailed filings early, although Schatz’s campaign has said he raised $1.1 million during the first quarter. According to FEC records, $2,000 of it came from the Central Pacific Bank Federal PAC. The bank gave Schatz, a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation, the contribution on Feb. 19.

Meantime, Roll Call’s money and politics blog, MoneyLine, has been keeping a tally of PAC contributions to freshmen in Congress. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard ranks 56th on the list, having received $13,000 from PACs.

Since Gabbard and most others on the list haven’t released their itemized contributions yet, the analysis is based on early disclosure forms submitted by PACs.

According to MoneyLine, Gabbard’s PAC contributions thus far include:

• American Airlines Political Action Committee, 1/7/2013, $1,000;
• American Federation Of Government Employees Political Action Committee, 2/7/2013, $1,500;
