She won the !J@at in 1988 with ~O\ of the vote when political observers said she wouldn't have a chance, with the odds stacked ngainst her because of the high number of registered Democrats. But h@r entire politlcnl car~ G r has benn one of beating th@ odds, and working cooperatJvely with all elf!ments of llC\waii'n political forces. Without that bl-partisan nppr:oach, ehe would not hav~ been elected to the U.S. Coh~regn in the firet place, and, because or that approach, the people ot Hawaii appreciate her for her independence, strength, and dedloatlon to solving the problems facing Hawaii. -- In 1988, many in HnwHiJ said her election had been a fluke, and her opposition put everythinq they had bettlnd the effort to defeat her. Pat's opponent raised one of the highest amounts of polltlmti contrlbut.ione of any challenger in the mJtlon, but Pat still won by a oonvincln9 margin, despite the unified efforts to defeat her. -- Today, Pat stands ready tu become the first Aslan-~merican woman in th~ U.S. Senate, and agaln, some in Hawaii are trying to ar9ue that she cannot win in a statewide effort beyond lier urban Honolulu, 1st Con9renslonal District. -~ But listen to the~e fnctss in a very recent poll done by the Honolulu Advertiser an~ Channe1~2, Pat was seen ru11nlng ahead in her race by 43 to 3' perc~nt ••. the first evidence si11ce the race began months ago that Pat ha& a •ignificant opportunity now to generate th~ statewide support necessary to win in November. In addition, Pat's job approval ratinq was higher than her opponent' n tn another earlier em. vey. Furth@r, whl1e nome n~t8hlitthed polltlc1nn~ in ttawsil have suffered from declining Bpproval ratings in these polls, Pat's has been increasing, obviously refleotlnq her ability to work with all Democrat:e ami nepubllcann in t:ry:fng to solve Hawaii's problems.

Research and Library Resources Essay My thesis was inspired by the article “Why Asian Settler Colonialism Matters” by sociologist Dean Saranillio, which chronicles Asian Americans’ marginalization of Native Hawaiians. As an Asian American from Hawaii, I was intrigued by this topic. My project thus investigates the consequences Japanese American advocacy for Hawaiian statehood had on Native Hawaiians. Based on the Leatherby Library databases that Rand Boyd recommended, I started my research by identifying key literature through Academic Search Premier and JSTOR.

Matsunaga Papers Accession Number: HCPC 1997.01 Inclusive Dates: 1916-1990 (bulk 1963-1990) Size of Collection: 908 linear feet Creator of Papers: Spark Masayuki Matsunaga Abstract: Spark Matsunaga (1916-1990) was a member of Congress from Hawaii, serving in the U.S. House of Representatives (1963-1976) and the U.S. Senate (1977-1990). He started his political career as an assistant public prosecutor in Honolulu (1952-1954), was a Representative in the Territory of Hawaii Legislature (1954-1959), worked tirelessly for Hawaii statehood, and was also a lawyer in private practice. He served in the U.S. Army, in the famed 100 th Infantry Battalion during WWII, receiving the Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts. He married Helene Hatsumi Tokunaga in 1948 and had five children. The bulk of the collection is from Matsunaga’s years in Congress and includes correspondence, photographs, audiovisual items, and memorabilia. The largest parts of this material concern Congressional activity supporting his strong interest in peace, space exploration, veterans, transportation, taxation, health, natural resources and civil rights, especially redress for Japanese Americans interned in WWII. His legendary hosting of constituents in Congressional dining rooms is shown in many invoices and guest lists. His staff kept detailed information on his schedules, appointments and travels.

  • Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance In
    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.

  • From Exclusion to Inclusion
    From Exclusion to Inclusion 1941–1992 Around 9 :00 in the morning on April 21, 1945, Daniel K. Inouye, a 20-year-old army lieutenant from Honolulu, Hawaii, was shot in the stomach on the side of a mountain in northwestern Italy. The German bullet went clean out his back and missed his spine by a fraction of an inch. “It felt like someone punched me,” he remembered years later. “But the pain was almost non-existent. A little ache, that’s all and since the bleeding was not much I said well, I’ll keep on going.”1 Later that morning, Inouye, a pre-med student who had been getting ready for church when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, was hit again. This time a rifle grenade nearly blew off his entire right arm. After picking up his tommy gun with his left hand, he continued to charge up the hill, firing at German soldiers as he went. Eventually shot in the leg, Inouye waited until his men seized control of the mountain before being evacuated.2 The war in Europe ended 17 days later. Inouye lived in military hospitals for the next two years to rebuild his strength and learn to do everyday tasks with one arm. The war forced him to adapt, and over the next two decades, the country he nearly died for began to adapt to the war’s consequences as well. For the most marginalized people—women and minorities, especially—World War II had profound implications for what it meant to be American.

Merrow Interviews conducted by Ann Lage in 1992 and 1993 Copyright c 1997 by The Regents of the University of California and the Sierra Club Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the Nation. Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well- informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California, the Sierra Club, and Michael Fischer dated January 12, 1995. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.
