DescriptionHONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) -
A political action committee facing fines for failing to disclose its organizers and activities filed a report Wednesday with the state Campaign Spending Commission that indicates it's spent $176,212.61 to support U.S. Rep. Colleen Hanabusa's campaign for governor.


"Defend Hawaii Now" has been running a television ad since Aug. 2 that included the voice of Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard endorsing Hanabusa and criticizing Gov. David Ige's leadership. It also reminds voters of the false missile alert and the escape of killer Randall Saito from Hawaii State Hospital.

The report filed Wednesday says the PAC has spent about $113,000 for television advertising and the rest on polling, printing and mailing — all in support of Hanabusa.
