Lt. Gov. Sylvia Luke’s campaign failed to report more than $7,800 worth of campaign contributions during the first six months of 2022, according to an audit of her campaign funds.

In a press release Monday announcing the audit findings, the campaign said that the review found “no significant discrepancies,” which auditor Common Cents Consulting defines as any single transaction equal to or greater than $6,000. Each of the 20 unreported contributions and expenditures was for less than that.

The audit also does not make mention of the $10,000 in checks Luke initially accepted from lobbyist Tobi Solidum and his stepdaughter during a dinner meeting with former Rep. Ty Cullen in January 2022. The campaign later reported returning those checks to Solidum and Kristen Pae but the donations were not recorded until Civil Beat asked about them in February.

But in reviewing receipts and expenditures from Jan. 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022, the consulting company found a series of campaign donations in late June 2022 that went unreported, including three $1,000 donations that came from executives of eWorld Enterprise Solutions, a politically connected tech firm that develops software programs for state agencies. Its executives have donated heavily to an array of Hawaiʻi politicians, including Gov. Josh Green and Luke.

Two unreported $500 donations came from Ming Dynasty Fish & Shrimp, the progenitors of the Fumi’s Kahuku shrimp truck, and Honokaʻa-based KK Ranch, as well as two other individuals.

In 2022, the campaign also failed to report expenditures totaling $3,200, including $2,500 in food and beverage charges from the Pacific Club and a $755 event fee for the Sarrat Association, a Filipino community organization based in ʻEwa Beach.

The audit found minor discrepancies in 2021, including the amounts of two donations that were off by a few cents. Unreported expenditures for a Hawaiian Airlines ticket, bank fees and the bar association totaled less than $150.

It is not clear how the donations and expenditures from 2021 and 2022 went unreported for so long. The chairwoman and treasurer for Luke’s campaign did not return calls seeking comment. The Common Cents consultants also did not return a message asking about the review.

In a written statement provided after this story was published, campaign spokesman Adrian Kamaliʻi said that the $10,000 linked to Solidum were not included in the Common Cents audit because those contributions were already reflected in amended campaign reports filed before the audit began.

The other errors the audit found in 2022 “were legitimate individual contributions that were properly deposited into the campaign bank account but inadvertently omitted from the original filings,” Kamaliʻi wrote, adding that those were the result of the “same type of administrative oversight” that led to the omission of the Solidum donations.

Luke’s campaign press release said that the Common Cents Consulting firm will review the campaign’s finances for the rest of 2022 as well as 2023, 2024 and 2025. The consultants were retained to provide ongoing services, the press release said.

Luke’s campaign initiated the audit in February as a political maelstrom brewed around the lieutenant governor.

As an FBI informant, Cullen taped a man in January 2022 giving an influential state lawmaker $35,000 that was to be used for a campaign, which investigators later said was delivered in a paper bag.  Luke reported campaign donations close to that amount for the period that covered January 2022, but she denied that the lawmaker was her in an interview last year with Civil Beat.

The $35,000 transaction would be a possible campaign spending violation if the money went unreported. The state Attorney General’s Office has launched an investigation into the $35,000.

Last month, Luke suggested that federal investigators might think she’s the influential lawmaker recorded by Cullen on an FBI tape, but maintained that she never took $35,000 from someone in a meeting with Cullen.
