Ira Rohter, a pioneer in the fight to end the dominance of big money over our political process, passed away on June 22nd. Ira Rohter was a man who made quite an impression on those who he encountered. A political activist for over four decades, Rohter had the opportunity to touch many lives.

It is with great sadness that we report that Ira Rohter, who served as president of Hawaii Clean Elections, died yesterday morning.
