Timeline

1925

The 25th district includes Makiki and Tantalus on Oahu.

Schatz ran for Hawaii's 2nd congressional district, vacated by Ed Case, who had decided to run for the U.S. Senate against incumbent Daniel Akaka.

The Democratic primary featured 10 candidates, seven of whom served in the Hawaii Legislature.

Mazie Hirono, the lieutenant governor, was the only one who had held statewide office and thus enjoyed the most name recognition.

She also raised the most money, mostly because of the endorsement of EMILY's List, and lent her own campaign $100,000.

She won the primary with 22% of the vote, just 845 votes ahead of State Senator Colleen Hanabusa.

Schatz finished sixth with 7% of the vote, behind Hirono and four state senators.
