Quentin Kawanakoa Coming Back to Hawaii Politics Print E-mail
June 03, 2008 06:49 PM

 
A descendent of Hawaiian royalty and former member of the State House of Representatives says he's getting back into politics here at home. Quentin Kawanakoa served in the state house for four years in the 1990's. He made an unsuccessful run for congress two years ago, but says public service is in his blood and he's ready to seek office again.

"My first choice is the state House. The 51st district. I want to stay close to my home, stay close to my family. I want to do something in our immediate community. However people that I truly respect have asked me to run for congress and council and maybe even the mayorship," said Kawananakoa.

If Kawananakoa runs for the house he'll be vying for the seat left empty by Democrat Tommy Waters who does not plan to run. Kawananakoa says he'll make his decision by the end of the week.
