The candidacy of incumbent state Rep. David Alcos III could be in jeopardy after revelations that Alcos has violated campaign financial disclosure rules. Among them: failing to disclose more than $3 million in liens against him by the IRS and state Tax Department for unpaid taxes. Alcos was fined $12,500 by the Hawaii State Ethics Commission.

Alcos, a Republican who is seeking reelection in November, “admitted and declared” that he failed to disclose all businesses he controlled, all creditors owed $3,000 or more and sources of income on 2020, 2022 and 2023 disclosure forms. In a statement, the candidate said he “takes responsibility for oversights,” calling them “errors in compliance.”
