| Description | At least one dozen Democrats have applied to replace the late Sen. Daniel Inouye, who died last week at age 88 and after serving the state for more than one-half century in Washington, D.C.
Among the late entries on Monday were Ed Case, Esther Kiaaina, Blake Oshiro and Tulsi Gabbard.
Case is a former congressman. Kiaaina is deputy director of the state Department of Land and Natural Resources and worked under Case when he was in congress.
Oshiro is Gov. Neil Abercrombie’s deputy chief of staff, and a former state representative.
In announcing his intentions, former U. S. Congressman Ed Case (D-HI 2002-2007) said:
“Our Hawaii has never faced such a precarious position on Capitol Hill. I respectfully ask you to consider my experience, ability and commitment to take up and fulfill the challenge of serving as Hawaii’s next Senator, bot today and over the next decades.” |
