Contracts × Donors — the public join

Honolulu contract awardees (HANDS public record) name-matched against campaign contributors to tracked Honolulu officials (Campaign Spending Commission public record). Where a county vendor also funds an official, it is set here as a question for reporting — built entirely from public records, no information request required.

Read this first. A name match is mechanical and is a QUESTION, never proof. Winning county contracts and donating to campaigns are both lawful and ordinary. Verify each identity before relying on it. Correlations are questions, never accusations — the 12 Stones integrity rule.

20 of 236 Honolulu vendors name-match a donor to a tracked official.
