 | | Mike Gabbard, a Republican challenger in the 2nd Congressional District race in the Tuesday, Nov. 2 general election, isn't disheartened by recent election polls showing him far behind incumbent Democratic U.S. Rep. Ed Case, D-Neighbor Islands-rural O‘ahu. |
 | | Gabbard, an educator, and his wife, Carol, a non-paid member of the state Board of Education, said they care deeply about improving education in Hawai‘i, and that he would strive to improve it as a new member of Congress. |
 | | Gabbard said he also wants to alleviate the "serious problem of traffic congestion" on Kaua‘i, and can secure the funding to find answers, as he would be a member of the dominant political party in Congress. |
