Honolulu — who lobbies and pays the deciders

Sources: Hawaiʻi State Ethics Commission lobbyist registration statements (opendata.hawaii.gov, 3,932 filings → 695 Organizations) × HI Campaign Spending Commission "Campaign Contributions Received By Hawaii State and County Candidates" (dataset jexd-xbcg) (https://hicscdata.hawaii.gov/resource/jexd-xbcg.json), filtered to Honolulu offices and aggregated per contributor in Python. Matched strictly on entity name (corporate suffixes peeled). Lawful activity — documented facts and open questions, not findings of wrongdoing. NOTE: the lobbyist registry is State-level; an entity that lobbies only informally, or gives only through a PAC whose name differs from its own, will not surface here. A strict match undercounts on purpose.
