Colleen Hanabusa’s campaign for Congress launched its first commercials today in Honolulu. In what appears to be a very large ad buy (compared to smaller buy from Charles Djou and an even more anemic buy from the barely-noteworthy Ed Case), Hanabusa’s campaign depicts her as a tireless reformer who will work with President Obama to effect change in Washington when she is elected to Congress.
A spot entitled, “Bio,” highlights the values and background behind reforms in education, campaign finance rules and cutting waste that Hanabusa championed during her 12 years in the Hawaii State Senate.
The second spot, “Paperless,” describes Senator Hanabusa’s past record as an agent of change and details her future plans when elected to the U.S. House of Representatives: Work with President Obama and take on special interests to move reform through Congress.
These commercials communicate what Senator Hanabusa stands for, ‘Reform in Washington. Hope for Hawai’i.’

This is a breath of fresh air for Democrats in Hawaii. The presumed frontrunner, Ed Case a former Blue Dog who missed a year’s worth of votes when he jumped ship to challenge US Senator Daniel Akaka in 2006, is lacking money, organization, and manpower to pull off an effective campaign. Let’s hope the DCCC and DNC listens up.
