Daniel Akaka

Remembering the late U.S. Senator Daniel Akaka

April 6, 2018 by Anthony Pignataro 1 Comment

Love. Courage. Care. Empathy. Collegiality. Dignity. Respect. Humility. Kindness. Grace. Compassion. Warmth. Aloha. These are just some of the words Hawaii officials are using this morning to describe former U.S. Senator Daniel Akaka, D–Hawaii, who died this morning at the age of 93. The first Native Hawaiian to serve in the U.S. Senate, Akaka was […]

Is a new Native Hawaiian Government coming soon?

September 26, 2016 by Anthony Pignataro Leave a Comment

That’s the big question on many lips in Hawaii, following the U.S. Department of Interior (DOI)’s Sept. 23 announcement of a “final rule to create a pathway for reestablishing a formal government-to-government relationship with the Native Hawaiian community.” There are still many details that have yet to be worked out, but it looks like Native […]

Know your 2016 Maui County election candidate: Yuki Lei Sugimura

August 5, 2016 by Anthony Pignataro 1 Comment

Maui County Councilmember Gladys Baisa can’t run for reelection because of term limits, which means there’s a lot of interest in succeeding her. Of the four candidates running, one of them–Yuki Lei Sugimura–has extensive experience with the Maui Democratic Party. Her campaign website doesn’t have a lot of information on her political views, but we managed to pin […]

Hawaii National Guard promotes U.S. Congressional Rep. Tulsi Gabbard to major

October 12, 2015 by Anthony Pignataro 19 Comments

Today the Hawaii Army National Guard promoted U.S. Congressional Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, to the rank of major. At a ceremony at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (Punchbowl) on Oahu, former U.S. Senator Daniel Akaka led her in taking her oath of office, according to a a news release sent out by her […]

Hawaii Primary Election Candidates You Should NOT Ignore

August 10, 2012 by Anthony Pignataro Leave a Comment

Looks like we erred in our Candidates To Ignore section of our Hawaii Primary Election Endorsements issue. Two non-partisan candidates–Heath Beasley, a U.S. Navy vet who is running for the U.S. Senate seat currently occupied by retiring Democrat Senator Daniel Akaka, and Molokai homestead farmer/musician Kanohowailuku Helm, who is running for the 7th District state […]

After the ‘Opposites Attract’ TV Ad, Why is Ed Case Still Trying To Dance With Mazie Hirono and Linda Lingle in Hawaii’s US Senate Race?

July 27, 2012 by Anthony Pignataro Leave a Comment

If I were Ed Case, I’d start to consider ending my electoral political aspirations. He’s a decent guy, sure, and, when he was in the House of Representatives, as effective as a legislator can be when he or she is from Hawaii. But from the start of his campaign for the U.S. Senate seat currently […]

MauiTime Best of Maui 2012:Best Scary Public Figure on Maui: Linda Lingle

July 19, 2012 by Anthony Pignataro Leave a Comment

Technically Lingle hasn’t been a public official since she left the Hawaii governor’s office in 2010, but here campaign to replace retiring U.S. Senator Daniel Akaka (D, Hawaii) is close enough for me. Our readers think she’s scary, but there’s a very real chance the state’s voters (who twice elected her governor) will send the […]

EMILY’s List Smacks Linda Lingle Over Roy Blunt

March 6, 2012 by Anthony Pignataro Leave a Comment

Ok, I’m going to run really quick through some extremely divisive social politics. First, Republican U.S. Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri tried to kill the Obama Administration’s controversial rule requiring insurance companies to cover the costs of contraception (this is the so-called Blunt Amendment, which failed). Then former Republican Governor Linda Lingle, who is running […]

How Will Hawaii’s Congressional Representatives And Senators Vote On SOPA?

January 18, 2012 by Anthony Pignataro Leave a Comment

Actually, your guess is as good as ours. According to the investigative news non-profit organization ProPublica, none of Hawaii’s people in Washington – U.S. Senators Daniel Akaka and Dan Inouye or Congressmembers Colleen Hanabusa (1st District) and Mazie Hirono (2nd District)– have taken a public stance on the contentious Stop Online Piracy ACT (SOPA). But […]
