HONOLULU (AP) — State Sen. Kai Kahele has won the Democratic nomination to represent Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District in Saturday’s primary election.

The seat is currently held by U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a Democrat who decided not to run for reelection so she could focus on her presidential campaign, which was ultimately unsuccessful.

Kahele faced three opponents, none with prior elected experience.

17. Aloha onetexan & Mahalo!! Pretty sure Kai will

Win.. just read an article that "Hawaii hasn't sent a repub to Congress in 30 years".

I love the way Kai is not taking anything for granted, though.. & the way he does the Shaka sign.. which means.. hang loose!

18. That's awesome. Keep those Repugs away from Hawaii

I love it that HI is so blue. Here's to Kai winning the seat

19. Yeah, Hawaii doesn't like repubs so much.. nothing to

offer.

& now that we will have Kai Kahele as our Rep in District 2.. it will be brilliant.. we'll have a Rep who represents our District 2 who I respect!

had nothing to do with the presidential campaign .

said she was going to retire.. her polls were down, too.
