Los Angeles, CA
I am literally in a state of shock this afternoon. I just heard about the passing Kam Kuwata, who was one of the very very best political "minds" in California, and someone I admired for decades.
Kam was found dead in his Venice condominium, officials said Monday, and autopsy is currently underway.
Kam was a genius, and was only 57.
He had been involved in politics for all of his adult life, just like me, mostly working for Democrats (I actually can't recall if he ever worked for a Republican...?) and many others who truly admired his work, passion for good government, clean candidates, and always being able to stay "above the fray." He loved being in the "background" but you ALWAYS knew when Kam was involved with a cause or a candidate.
Police found his body in his home-office after friends and family grew concerned by their inability to get in touch with him.
So so sad. Please, share your thoughts about Kam and his passing if you would like.

Hey there,
I feel the same as you. Kuwata was a good friend of mine back from the Feinstein for Senate campaign. So sad and shocked. Thanks for writing about him. RIP, Kuwata.
Kam was ONE in a MILLION. He was the EXCEPTION to the RULE that people in politics at the highest of levels actually play by the rules. What a shock.
We are starting to lose a lot of wonderful people in politics in Los Angeles County. This year we have lost Kam, Jenny Oropeza, Joe Cerrell, Keith Richman and many others. May the Rest in Peace.
Kam was the "brains" -- and the heart -- behind some of the most amazing campaigns in California.
Without Kam, Senator Dianne Feinstein may have NEVER been elected to the US Senate.
Don't forget his love for USC, fine cigars and Makers Mark.
