    Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Skyler Allyn Korgel ANS 678H Departmental Honors in Asian Studies The University of Texas at Austin May 2018 Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Department of Asian Studies Thesis Supervisor Dr. Patricia Maclachlan Department of Government Second Reader Abstract “Ho’omalimali” and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Author: Skyler Korgel Thesis Supervisor: Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Second Reader: Dr. Patricia Maclachlan This thesis seeks to discover the underlying causes and factors for the unique political situation in Hawai'i where a minority demographic has been historically dominant. In researching historical and political contexts, as well as institutional and electoral factors, analysis of all these findings has shown a constructed “succession model” behind the dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry (AJA) through the Democratic Party. The thesis also examines the implications of the disrupted and further divisive political climate of the Hawai'i Democratic Party since the death of universally respected and revered Senator Daniel Inouye (1924-2012). Senator Inouye’s death brought to an end a political career that spanned nearly six decades, and commenced a new era for Hawai'i political leadership. Quite possibly, this new era has also fractured the succession model. In a 75% minority state, throughout the past 65 years, Americans of Japanese ancestry have managed to gain a stranglehold over the Hawai'i Democratic Party, and therefore the Hawai’i state government itself.

    current asian and pacific islander american members Colleen Hanabusa 1951– UNITED STATES REPRESENTATIVE 2011–2015 ; 2016– DEMOCRAT FROM HAWAII A prominent Hawaiian Democrat and labor lawyer, Colleen Hanabusa worked her way to the forefront of Democratic politics in the state through 12 years in the Hawaii senate. Hanabusa fi rst won election to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2010 and returned in a 2016 special election following the death of Representative Mark Takai. Image courtesy of the Member Colleen Hanabusa was born on May 4, 1951, in Honolulu, Hawaii, to June and Isao Hanabusa, gas station proprietors in Waianae.1 She graduated from Honolulu’s St. Andrew’s Priory School in 1969, before attending the University of Hawaii in Manoa. Th ere she earned bachelor’s degrees in economics and sociology in 1973, a master’s degree in sociology in 1975, and a law degree in 1977. Hanabusa spent 20 years in private practice. Her rising profi le as a labor lawyer led to a successful campaign for a state senate seat in 1998. She served as president of the senate from 2007 until 2010 and was the fi rst woman to lead either chamber of the Hawaiian legislature.2 Hanabusa fi rst ran for national offi ce in a 2003 House of Representatives special election, when she lost the Democratic nomination for an open seat in the 2nd District, centered on downtown Honolulu. She then competed for the same House seat in 2006 but again lost in the Democratic primary.3 In May 2010, Hanabusa ran in the 1st District race to fi ll the vacancy caused by the resignation of Representative Neil Abercrombie.

  • Electoral System Design: Goals and Priorities
    Electoral System Design: Goals and Priorities Colin Moore Director, Public Policy Center University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Outline 1. Goals of electoral systems 2. District magnitude • Some pros and cons of single-member, multi-member, and at-large districts 3. Voting Systems: Balancing fairness, transparency, and familiarity • First-past-the-post and the two-round system • Alternative voting methods • How an alternative might look in Maui County Electoral Systems: You can’t have it all Best to think of goals and priorities, rather than a single “right way” to design elections The key question: What do you want the electoral system to do? • There is no system that provides a perfectly neutral way to transform voter preferences into electoral outcomes. • Each electoral system contains a different array of biases from every other electoral system. • Voter preferences themselves are shaped by the electoral system. • Policymakers who decide among such systems choose to prefer one set of biases over another. And to prefer one over another is to make a policy choice (Donald L. Horowitz, 2006). Source: Donald L. Horowitz (2006) Goal 1: Proportionality of seats to votes • A majority of voters should receive a majority of representation. • Basic intuition: A political party that receives 40 percent of the vote should receive about 40 percent of the seats in a legislative body. • The one-person-one-vote rule in the United States is designed to protect against malapportionment (a clear violation of proportionality). • Proportional representation systems or a single district with many seats (as currently exists in Kaua‘i County) should be relatively good at achieving this goal.

    Hanabusa tops Djou in survey POSTED: 01:30 a.m. HST, Oct 29, 2012 LAST UPDATED: 12:15 p.m. HST, Oct 30, 2012 StarAdvertiser.com The incumbent representative, a Democrat, is ahead of her rival by 11 percentage points By Derrick DePledge U.S. Rep. Colleen Hanabusa, drawing energetic support from women and union households, has the advantage over former Congressman Charles Djou in their rematch in urban Honolulu's 1st Congressional District. A new Hawaii Poll shows Hanabusa ahead of Djou 52 percent to 41 percent, with 7 percent undecided. The results are similar to the last Hawaii Poll, in July, when Hanabusa led Djou 50 percent to 41 percent. Hanabusa, a Democrat, and Djou, a Republican, are competing against each other for the third time since 2010. But the rematch has been overshadowed by the Hawaii U.S. Senate and Honolulu mayoral campaigns and has not attracted the same national interest as the two previous elections. Neal Milner, a retired University of Hawaii-Manoa political science professor, said the poll shows the challenge for Republican candidates like Djou in a traditionally Democratic state. Djou won a special election in May 2010 after Hanabusa and former U.S. Rep. Ed Case split the Democratic vote. He lost to Hanabusa by 6 points in the November 2010 election. "It's extraordinarily difficult to break through that," Milner said, "and it looks like he hasn't been very successful at doing that." The Hawaii Poll was taken by Ward Research for the Star-Advertiser and Hawaii News Now from Oct.

  • Prime-Ary Perspective: Hawaii Hawaii Gubernatorial Senate
    PRIME-ARY PERSPECTIVE: HAWAII PRIME-ARY Perspectives is a series that will give you an overview of the most noteworthy results from each state's primary election, focusing on congressional districts that are likely to be most competitive in November, as well as those that will have new representation in 2019 because of retirements. As always, please do not hesitate to reach out to us with questions! HAWAII This year, Hawaii has races in all of the top-tier categories. In addition to its two House seats, there will be a gubernatorial and Senate election in November. However, Hawaii is a deep blue state and any drama associated with any of these races is likely to have played out in yesterday's primary, as all of these seats will stay in Democratic hands. GUBERNATORIAL In 2014, David Ige (D) was elected Governor with 49% of the vote - besting a Republican candidate and an Independent that garnered more than 11% of the vote. He is running for reelection this year but faced a primary challenge from current Rep. Colleen Hanabusa. Ige likely secured his reelection last night by winning 51.4% of the Democratic vote, with Hanabusa winning 44.4%. Hanabusa had devoted considerable resources to emphasizing the missile alert false alarm that Hawaiians faced in January but that message was ultimately not enough to push her over the line. Ige will face Andria Tupola (R), the Minority Leader of the Hawaii state House of Representatives. She will have an up-hill battle in November. The Cook Political Report rates this race as "Solid Democratic." SENATE Sen.
