		Hirono says she is proud that she will be among the small number of foreign-born members of Congress.
		Four years ago, Hirono was seen by some in her party as a has-been: The incumbent lieutenant governor lost the governor's race to Republican Linda Lingle, ending a Democratic gubernatorial winning streak in the state that extended back to 1962.
		Hirono sees herself as a successor to another Democrat who held the seat, the late Patsy T. Mink (1965-77, 1990-2002), known as an activist liberal.

		Mazie Hirono said she is entering the race for Honolulu Hale's top seat next year because she feels a void in city government, not because she was trailing Mayor Jeremy Harris in the quest for governor.
		With that, the 54-year-old Hirono abandoned her longtime plans to run for governor and entered what now shapes up to be a five-person race for the mayor's office, which will be vacated when Harris resigns to run for governor in next year's election.
		Hirono said she is asking the attorney general for guidance on the lines of succession and transition.

	Hirono, Dem incumbents would form best D.C. team \| Dan Akaka
		Hirono wants to see "phased redeployment" of Iraq troops by the end of the year, a stance that could be spelled out more clearly but nonetheless appears to allow some consideration for ground conditions.
		On domestic issues, Hirono's work during 14 years in the state House, as well as her two terms in the state's No. 2 spot, should work to her advantage.
		Finally, the Japan-born Hirono would bring to the job an empathy with America's immigrants, as well as linguistic skills and a global perspective that the United States critically needs in an era when relations with Asia are moving closer to center stage.

		Hirono writes on her campaign Web site: “No one can link the Pentagon’s financial inputs to its policy outputs; in other words, Congress and the public cannot know whether a line item is actually linked to a desired policy outcome.
		Hirono continues: “We should get out of the quagmire that is Iraq with a phased redeployment of U.S. forces that begins before the end of 2006 and significant transition to full Iraqi sovereignty should also occur.
		Hirono’s plan for immediate withdrawal from Iraq, beginning even before she would be sworn in, would quickly lead to a collapse of the democratic governments of Iraq and Afghanistan.

		The state's strong support for the anti-war Kucinich suggests that calling Hirono a "big government peacenik" — as Burgos did in an earlier news release — might not be the insult the NRCC intended.
		Hirono, who spent two days last week meeting with Democratic leaders in Washington, D.C., is still waiting to hear whether she will receive financial support from the national Democratic Party, but Stauch is optimistic Hirono will be able to demonstrate need.
		While Hawai'i's primary was held too late for Hirono to be included in an upcoming Emily's List mailer, she will continue to receive campaign support from the national grass-roots organization, which offered her assistance in the primary.

		No doubt this is one of the most endangered Dem guv seats, and Hirono must contend with baggage from the previous Democratic administration (in which she was Lt. Governor).
		Mazie Hirono scored a few points, but Republican Linda Lingle grabbed almost all of the momentum last night as she beamed for the camera before launching one attack after another on the failings of the Hawai'i Democrats.
		Appearing relaxed and at ease, Lingle at times baldly disregarded the questions she was asked and used the time to again hammer home her message that the Democrats failed to fix the public schools, failed to fix the economy and have grown complacent and corrupt.

		Hirono counters that there has been a failure of leadership in the White House that requires a new Congress that can serve as a balance to check the adventurist actions of the president.
		Hirono said the No Child Left Behind Act is an unfunded mandate of a failed federal policy imposed on local schools that does not deal with the needs of schools and teachers.
		Hirono said she already is targeting one provision for maintaining revenues into the Social Security fund – the cap on Social Security taxes on high incomes.

		Mazie Hirono is not Ed Case and vice-versa, to state the obvious.
		Hirono won a fair election for a seat that was voluntarily vacated by Ed Case and deserves a reasonable chance to show what she can do rather than be dismissed before she's even sworn in.
