Yet Another Caldwell Fundraiser
UPDATED: It is the Honolulu mayor’s 29th campaign cash haul since April 2013.
Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell continues to aggressively fill his war chest.
A campaign fundraiser was held Wednesday night at Waikiki Business Plaza, where the donation suggestion was $1,000.
It is Caldwell’s 29th fundraiser since April 2013.
It follows a fundraiser held last month at a Washington, D.C., hotel (the Fairmont in Georgetown, says Google Maps) that asked for contributions ranging from $500 to $4,000.
Ernie Martin, the Honolulu City Council chairman who is rumored to be weighing a Caldwell challenge, has held only three fundraisers this year.
Martin’s council seat is not up until 2018.
Hawaii’s primary election in Aug. 13.
UPDATE: Aulani Kaaihue, a research assistant at UH Manoa, says she is running for mayor. Here’s the website.
