Former Sen.
Ben Nighthorse Campbell (R-Colorado) will lobby Senate Republicans on
S.310, a bill to extend the policy of self-determination to Native Hawaiians.
Campbell, a member of the
Northern Cheyenne Tribe of Montana, was hired by the
Office of Hawaiian Affairs. Campbell works for the
Holland & Knight firm in Washington, D.C., though the lobbying work is being done under a subcontract with
Patton Boggs, another firm.
Supporters of the bill hope for final passage before President Bush leaves office. Republicans have opposed the measure.
