Independent Audit Finds No Significant Discrepancies
News Release from Luke for LG Campaign, March 6, 2026
I am pleased to share that the national political compliance firm that my campaign hired to review our records has completed the first segment of work.
We hired Common Cents Consulting to ensure accuracy and accountability between our bank receipts, expenditures and reports to the Campaign Spending Commission. CCC has completed audits of the 2021 calendar year and the first six months of calendar year 2022.
It found “no significant discrepancies.” The errors that CCC noted are reflected in an amended campaign spending report we filed Friday. The findings from CCC can be downloaded below.
CCC will now be reviewing our reports for the remainder of 2022 as well as 2023, 2024 and 2025, and has been retained by our campaign to provide ongoing services.
If you have any questions please reach out to our campaign.
Mahalo for your continued support of my campaign.

CB: 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….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.
