Hawaii GOP Still Looking For CD2 Candidate

Hawaii Republican Party

The Hawaii primary election is barely six months away, yet the local GOP still hasn't found a viable candidate.

Democrats, meanwhile, have fielded five candidates so far, two of them well-known: Mufi Hannemann, Tulsi Gabbard, Bob Marx, Esther Kiaaina and Rafael Del Castillo. They're busy raising money and making the rounds.

Not the GOP.

"We are actively searching for one, but we haven't found that person yet," said GOP Chair David Chang. "As we get closer, people will pop up."
