So, HIRA has stepped in to fill the gap and show these brave candidates that we are in their corner. Yes, while our party continues to turn a deaf ear, HIRA listens to the voices of frustrated Republicans across the state.
Therefore, to get the ball rolling, the Hawaii Republican Assembly's board of directors today selected four Republican candidates to which the HIRA has just sent financial contributions.
The four courageous conservatives chosen by HIRA for direct candidate assistance include one incumbent and three challengers:
State Senator
Sam Slom
is being challenged by former City Councilman
Stanley Chang
to represent the 9th senate district
(Hawaii Kai, Kuliouou, Niu, Aina Haina, Waialae-Kahala, Diamond Head)
.

Emil Svrcina
is running to unseat professional politician and liberal Democrat Ron Menor for the Honolulu City Council to represent the 9th council district (Waikele, Village Park, Royal Kunia, Mililani Town, West Loch, Iroquois Point, and portions of Ewa Villages and Ewa Beach). Emil will be the only candidate for City office in 2016 who is opposed to the rail project and to increasing taxes for that boondoggle.

Donations to these GOP campaigns are underwritten by the
tremendous members and donors
of the Hawaii Republican Assembly (HIRA), which is a standard noncandidate committee regulated by the State Campaign Spending Commission.
Even though leaders of the Hawaii Republican Party explicitly promised to help fund GOP candidates in 2016, they failed to come through. Still, HIRA renews its challenge to the RINO leaders of the Hawaii GOP to financially support their own candidates rather than merely blowing $15,000 per month of donor funds on ridiculously high overhead for an expensive headquarters (which isn't being used for any purpose which resembles victory).
Meanwhile, the Hawaii Republican Assembly's official SuperPAC, HIRA Action, continues to invest in political communications through our "
Hawaii Victory Campaign
" which promote the Republican brand and solutions while educating the public about the harm done by failed Democrat policies and politicians. 100% of your donation goes directly to HIRA communications which reach the public. Not a single penny goes to "overhead" or "administration" or "office building" or "staff". Click

Finally, HIRA vice president Marissa Kerns is still leading the official Trump signwaving campaign on Oahu. Please join Marissa's team at the entrance to
Ewa Beach
THIS FRIDAY, from 4pm to 6pm, in front of Queen's Medical Center on Fort Weaver Road.
Thanks for your help in turning Blue Hawaii into a Red State in our lifetime. Best wishes for success to all genuine Republican candidates in 2016!
