Commission public record, with real-estate / development donors flagged and recusals attached.
All figures are public record (CSC dataset jexd-xbcg). Contributions are lawful.
The point is the map: who funds whom, and whether votes track the money. Every claim here is a
question for reporting and verification — not an allegation against any donor or official.

Sector concentration — the land & development tilt
In a land-, tourism- and rebuild-driven county, the dollars closest to power are the dollars closest to land use, permits, zoning (Title 19), STR / Bill 9, and the Lahaina rebuild. This is how much of all tracked money carries a real-estate / development signature.

The influence web — donors funding multiple decision-makers
Contributors who appear in the top donors of more than one tracked official. Giving broadly is lawful; the map asks who is buying a relationship with the whole body, not one seat.

The disaster lens — who funds the rebuild deciders
After the August 8, 2023 Lahaina fire, roughly $1.639B in federal recovery funds (CDBG-DR · Bill 32) flows through these same officials, atop the FY2027 county budget. Disaster recovery concentrates land, permit and contract decisions — exactly where development money is heaviest. The question for the public, in the nation’s most-documented corruption record: does the recovery money track the donor money?
