## Resource

Hawaii’s Lieutenant Governor Sylvia Luke is under fire after her campaign faces over 250 alleged campaign finance violations, including unreported spending and contributions, potentially triggering a $28,300 fine and possible criminal charges. The investigation spans late 2021 to early 2022, and Luke, already on unpaid leave since April amid a separate bribery probe, admits the reporting errors were her responsibility. Her husband and several staff are also named as treasurers in the complaint. Luke’s legal team seeks a delay, citing self-incrimination rights and ongoing criminal proceedings — all while the Campaign Spending Commission’s probe runs parallel to the Attorney General’s, which remains silent on its own investigation.
