Hillary Clinton may well end up the Democratic Party’s nominee for president of the United States.
But if Hawaii Democrats are representative of other state parties, supporters of Bernie Sanders are not yet throwing in the red, white and blue towel.

On Sunday, on the second and final day of the state party convention at the Sheraton Waikiki, party members elected a new chair, Tim Vandeveer, a grassroots activist best known for his activism in “keeping the country country” on Oahu’s North Shore.
Vandeveer is also an unrelenting supporter of Bernie Sanders for president, the independent senator from Vermont known for his views on socialism.
Vandeveer defeated three other candidates with deeper ties to and experience in the party. . .

In a show of unity following the vote, Gov. David Ige expressed his pride in all four candidates, who joined him on the stage of the Sheraton ballroom.

“We are in good hands,” Ige said to attendees, all of them on their feet. “Let us come together for victory in November! Mahalo!”
