Description | Hawaii's leading Democratic candidates for Congress do not even live in urban Honolulu, the city they want to represent following next month's election.
Former U.S. Rep. Ed Case and state Senate President Colleen Hanabusa reside outside the borders of the 1st Congressional District, a fact that Republican candidate and Honolulu Councilman Charles Djou notes.
"It's ridiculous that neither Ed nor Colleen will be able to vote for themselves in this upcoming election, when they're asking others to vote for them," said Djou, 39, who lives in Hawaii Kai.
If either Democrat wins, both of Hawaii's congressional representatives will live outside their districts. U.S. Rep. Mazie Hirono was elected in 2006 to represent rural Oahu and the neighbor islands, but she lives within the urban Honolulu district. |
