Maui Rep. Angus McKelvey, one of the most influential Democratic leaders in the state House of Representatives, has been charged with two misdemeanor offenses in connection with the handling and reporting of campaign donations.

Charges filed by the state attorney general’s office allege that in July 2014 McKelvey “recklessly” filed campaign spending reports that did not accurately reflect the campaign donations he received.

He allegedly filed one pre-primary report on July 10, 2014, and then amended that report July 30 and Aug. 1, 2014, but the reports were not complete and accurate, according to the complaint.

Records on file with the state Campaign Spending Commission show McKelvey filed advance notices that he planned to hold a $500-per-plate fundraiser at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse on Jan. 8, 2014, and another $100-per-plate fundraiser at The Plaza Club on April 30, 2014.

However, campaign spending reports filed on McKelveyʻs behalf on July 10, 2014, indicated the campaign had received no contributions from Jan. 1 to June 30, 2014.

An amended report filed on July 30, 2014, listed campaign donations of $33,465 for the same period, and another amended report filed by the McKelvey campaign Aug. 1 listed contributions totaling $33,295.

The campaign finally filed a fourth amended report for the same period on Oct. 23, 2014, that again listed donations totaling $33,295.

A second charge alleges McKelvey allowed his mother, Joan McKelvey, to receive contributions and spend campaign funds or incur expenses for the campaign although she was not the campaign treasurer or deputy treasurer. That prompted a charge of unauthorized receiving and expenditure of committee funds, according to the complaint.

Each of the two charges carries a maximum penalty of up to a year in jail.

McKelvey (D, Lahaina- Kaanapali-Honokohau) is chairman of the House Consumer Protection and Commerce Committee, which controls legislation in the House that deals with banking, insurance, real estate and other consumer-oriented subjects.

McKelvey was unavailable for comment Monday.
