Hawaii county council district 4 race

[Rob L]

From Today's Star Advertiser:
District 4 (Hawaiian Acres-Pahoa-Kalapana)

» Rep. Faye Hanohano (D)

» Joy San Buenaventura (D)

» Leilani Bronson-Crelly (D)

» Brian Jordan (D)

» Julia Peleiholani (D)

» Gary Thomas ®

Outlook: Democratic. House leaders scolded Hanohano, chairwoman of the House Ocean, Marine Resources and Hawaiian Affairs Committee, after she was accused for a second time of racially discriminatory and inappropriate conduct. Hanohano insists that her actions have been mischaracterized, and she has her defenders in a Puna-based district suspicious of Oahu-centric political attitudes. She has drawn four primary opponents, including San Buenaventura, an attorney. In such a crowded field, however, name recognition could work in Hanohano's favor.

Aloha,
