The state senator who’s now running for Congress is no stranger to war. But he wants to restrict the president’s ability to take military action without the approval of Congress.

Now that Tulsi Gabbard has said she won’t seek reelection, the CD2 candidate is finding receptive ears in the nation’s capital.

The presidential wannabe can show true aloha for the people of the 2nd District by letting them have proper representation.

Meanwhile, Kai Kahele, the state senator vying to take her congressional seat, says he feels good about the $250,000 he raised so far.

U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard easily wins the Democratic nomination for the 2nd Congressional District.

The challenger must overcome U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s high poll numbers, fundraising prowess and national profile.

UPDATED: In its endorsement of challenger Sherry Campagna, the union sharply criticized Gabbard’s human rights record because of her stance on Syria.

She is running as a Democrat for one congressional seat and as a Republican for another — to the chagrin of both parties.
