Gabe Johnson

Johnson has raised $0 in the 2024-2026 election cycle through June 2025. With only $361.14 on hand and the June 2026 primary filing deadline approaching, he enters the race at a significant financial disadvantage. His committee elected the CSC simplified filing threshold, meaning individual donor and expenditure detail is not required for this cycle.

The largest contribution in Johnson's 2022-2024 cycle came from Kim Coco Iwamoto (Sep 30, 2024), a prominent Hawaii politician: former state representative, 2022 Democratic gubernatorial candidate, and environmental activist. Her address is Honolulu; she lists her occupation as 'Candidate.' This is a cross-political donation from a statewide figure to a single-district Lānaʻi council race.

A $250 contribution (Sep 11, 2023) from Momoe Johnson of Lahaina, employed as a State of Hawaii DLNR intern. Gabe Johnson publicly confirmed the relationship in an April 6, 2026 Facebook post: "Very proud of my daughter, Momoe Johnson!" (facebook.com/gabriel.johnson.923/posts/10165262188807780). Family contributions are legal and disclosed; the connection is noted for transparency.

Sandy Klimo-Janout of Willoughby, Ohio contributed $250 (Sep 11, 2023), employed as a salesperson at Complete Tickets. Ohio is outside the Lānaʻi district and Maui County. The contribution is legal; out-of-state donors to local races are disclosed for context.

Maui Pono Network contributed $1,088 in in-kind services to Johnson across three reporting periods (banners, hand cards, voice messages, social media). The same entity also made in-kind contributions to Tamara Paltin (West Maui) in the 2024 cycle — making it a cross-candidate PAC active across multiple council races.
