Apparently, Sen. Brian Schatz and Rep. Colleen Hanabusa ended up holding fundraisers at the same place last night — the Hotel George in Washington, D.C.

Headlining Schatz’s event was Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill. The late Sen. Daniel Inouye’s widow, Irene, was featured at Hanabusa’s event, according to The Hill, which quotes the Star-Advertiser.

No word yet on who raised more money.
