| Description | Russell Okata, who gained a reputation as a kingmaker in Hawaii politics during 26 years as executive director of the Hawaii Government Employees Association, will retire Dec. 31. Okata leaves behind a legacy of strong political action, which has been one of the hallmarks of HGEA. A grassroots campaign by Okata and HGEA members helped Democrats unseat five Republican incumbents in the House and reverse previous GOP gains in the 2004 election. |
