Loyal readers may recall CFIF profiled then-candidate Charles Djou’s special election campaign for Hawaii’s first congressional district. Since winning the seat in May Djou has gone from a hard-working underdog to a targeted incumbent working hard to get reelected in the heavily Democrat district.
During his two months in office, Djou voted against the Democrats’ overhaul of the financial industry, for the repeal of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy and praised President Barack Obama on the floor of the House for pursuing a trade agreement with South Korea.
If Djou pulls out a win in November, he’ll continue the Aloha State’s history of not voting out an incumbent member of Congress. Faced with the prospect of the alternative, conservatives everywhere should be praying for at least two more years of Charles Djou in Congress.
