State representative fined for not filing campaign reports

The state Campaign Spending Commission on Wednesday agreed to assess a $1,900 fine against state Rep. Karen Awana (D, Kalaeloa-Nanakuli) for failing to file and filing late campaign-spending reports.

The commission found that Awana, who won re-election last year, failed to file and filed late reports on five occasions.

Last month, the commission fined state Rep. Mele Carroll (D, Lanai-Molokai) more than $2,600 for not filing six campaign-spending reports by the reporting deadlines. Carroll was also re-elected last year.
