rss feedSen. Daniel K. Akaka reiterated today that he is looking forward to continuing his campaign to be returned to the United States Senate.
"We've just come off a tremendous effort and victory in Saturday's primary election and I intend to run the same sort of campaign heading into the general election," Akaka said.
"I want to thank the voters of Hawaii for their support and let them know that we will continue talking and listening to them on the important issues of the day. I do believe that there are clear differences between my general election opponent and me, particularly when it comes to questioning the direction in which the Bush Administration has taken our country," Akaka added. "We'll be talking about those issues in the coming weeks and will be working hard across the state."
"I would also like to publicly thank Congressman Ed Case for his offer to support my candidacy and I send he and his wife Audrey my aloha. Ours was a long and challenging campaign and I am grateful for his support in the general election."
Sen. Akaka has served the people of Hawaii in the nation's capitol for the past 30 years. Seeking his 3rd full term in the U.S. Senate, Akaka is now a Ranking Member on the Veterans' Affairs Committee, the Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness and Management, the Energy and Natural Resources Subcommittee on National Parks Historic Preservation and Recreation, and the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Subcommittee on Federal Government Management, the Federal Workforce and the District of Columbia.
