| Description | Inouye says he'll seek 8th term in U.S. Senate
Saying there is unfinished business, Dan Inouye formally announced his candidacy last night for an eighth term in the U.S. Senate.
The 79-year-old Democrat has served in Congress since Hawai'i became a state in 1959 and is the third most senior member of the U.S. Senate, behind Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., and Edward Kennedy, D-Massachusetts.
Accompanied by his wife, Maggie, Inouye made the announcement before 2,200 supporters at a sold-out $150-a-plate fund-raiser at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Among those in attendance were fellow Democrats U.S. Sen. Daniel Akaka, U.S. Reps. Neil Abercrombie and Ed Case and former Govs. George Ariyoshi, John Waihee and Ben Cayetano.
For four decades, Inouye has overseen billions of federal dollars into Hawai'i's economy and has been the state's most visible politician on the national stage. |
