The state’s effort to redraw legislative district boundaries is still bogged down in a court challenge and that has state elections officials scrambling to figure out how — and possibly even when — Hawaii’s primary election will unfold.

But that hasn’t stopped candidates and campaigns from pressing ahead with their election plans. And Civil Beat is with them all the way.

This week we continued to examine aspects of campaigning that you won’t read anywhere else. We looked at rules governing employees who work for elected officials and campaign for them as well. We looked at salaries being paid to staff working for the U.S. Senate candidates. And we looked at the political marriage between the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and former governor Linda Lingle, who the chamber is supporting in the U.S. Senate race.

We brought you another installment of The Public File in which we publish all the TV ad buys for the week made by candidates and independent campaigns.
