Ka Leo o ka ʻĀina — New York’s Louder Voice
In a democracy every resident has one voice. Money can make some voices far louder. From the
New York State Board of Elections public record, this page measures — per top recipient committee —
how much louder, and how few hands hold each committee’s money. Not to accuse anyone, but to invite each
seat to return its pair to balance. Rigor in the numbers; aloha in the asking.
Underneath — the record stands up. Every figure is real public NYSBOE campaign-finance data
(data.ny.gov 4j2b-6a2j), fetched this run, aggregated server-side with numeric casting, reproducible, built
to withstand the hardest look.
On the surface — aloha. The same record is offered as an invitation: the Kumulipo binds each
thing to its pair; a seat out of balance (hewa) can be made pono again. We name the pattern, never the
person’s guilt.

the largest outside single itemized gift measured against an ordinary New Yorker’s $50
contribution and against the average gift to that committee. Honest limits: the disclosed
org_amt is free text (cast to number, >$2B excluded); a large share of each committee’s
dollars arrive as non-itemized / organizational rows with blank donor names, so top-ten
concentration is computed over named donors only, and self/family is separated by surname
only where the committee carries a personal candidate name. Giving and receiving lawful contributions is
legal — this maps how loud each voice is, as a question. Sorted by multiplier.
