HIGH secondary Disclosure Gap

Mazie K. Hirono has not publicly weighed in on INDOPACOM contractor accountability and no-bid defense contracting in Hawaii

Mazie K. Hirono has accepted documented donations from sectors with material interests in "INDOPACOM contractor accountability and no-bid defense contracting in Hawaii" but has no public statement, vote, or hearing record on the topic. Expected position: Hirono serves on the Senate Armed Services Committee and represents Hawaii, home to INDOPACOM headquarters — the military's largest combatant command with jurisdiction over 52% of the Earth's surface. Hawaii is the single most military-dense state per capita in the United States. Defense contractors operating in Hawaii receive billions in federal contracts annually with limited competitive bidding for classified and contingency work. A senior Armed Services Committee member representing the INDOPACOM host state would be expected to have a documented public accountability record on contractor performance, no-bid practices, and cost overruns specific to Hawaii-based defense contracting. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Hirono has been publicly active on Armed Services Committee matters including military pay, veteran healthcare, and Pacific deterrence strategy, issuing numerous press statements on these topics. No comprehensive public accountability record specifically addressing no-bid contractor practices, INDOPACOM contractor performance reviews, or cost overruns in Hawaii-specific defense contracting has been identified despite her committee position providing direct oversight jurisdiction.
