About
Colleen
Hanabusa
Congresswoman
Colleen
Hanabusa is
running for
U.S. Senate
in Hawaii to
fill the
remaining
term of Sen.
Daniel
Inouye, who
died in
December.
Hanabusa
will face
Brian Schatz
in the
August
primary.
Schatz was
appointed to
Inouye’s
seat. The
winner of
the primary
is all but
guaranteed
the seat,
given
Hawaii’s
heavy
Democratic
tilt.
A Waianae
native and
University
of Hawaii
alum,
Colleen’s
great
grandparents
emigrated
from Japan
to work on
Hawai’i
sugar
plantations
— she’s
always had
working
families in
her heart.
After
building a
successful
law practice
as a labor
rights
attorney,
Colleen won
election to
the State
Senate where
she quickly
earned the
respect of
her peers
who elected
her chair of
both the
Judiciary
and Hawaiian
Affairs
committees.
She was
later
elected
Majority
Leader
before
becoming the
first woman
to serve as
President of
the State
Senate. As
President
she stood up
to the
Republican
governor on
civil
liberties
and public
health.
In 2010
Colleen
defeated
Republican
Charles Djou
to put
Hawaii’s
first
Congressional
District
back in
Democratic
hands. In
Congress,
she has been
a champion
for
education,
reproductive
choice, and
civil
rights.
