Hanohano Down!
Results in Two Other Races
Besides the U.S. Senate contest, Puna voters in the affected precincts also cast ballots in a state House of Representatives race and a Hawaii County Council seat.
In a major upset, Hilo attorney Joy San Buenaventura was defeating District 4 Rep. Faye Hanohano, 41 percent to 19 percent, in the Democratic primary.
----
Hanohano, a Native Hawaiian, has been a controversial figure at the Hawaii Legislature.
Last year, Hanohano berated a white student and was reprimanded by House Speaker Joe Souki for her “intimidating” conduct toward a white male student who testified before her committee.
