Sherry Campagna is running for Hawaii Congresssional District 2, trying to rid the state of its DINO, Tulsi Gabbard
Hereʻs a great story, and YOU can have a part in making the ending one we all hope for:
Once upon a time, a virulent anti-gay politician and businessman gained a bit of traction in Hawai‘i politics. Of course, the Aloha State doesnʻt really cotton to that sort of thing so he remained a minor player, mocked and marginalized. But this politician, Republican Mike Gabbard, had a daughter named Tulsi, and saw a way to set her up as an acceptable face to the voting public. She claimed to be a Democrat, she kept her familyʻs involvement in a scary cult on the down-low, and she joined the National Guard so she could claim veteran status. It worked! She was elected to represent the people of rural Oahu and the neighbor islands. But despite her promises, she didnʻt really do anything for veterans or other residents. She did take part in all manner of photo ops with shady friends like Bashar Al Asaad. Steve Bannon and David Duke found her to be a very acceptable politician and championed her! She even hired a Russian to clamp down on the press—shades of the Trump administration! The people of Hawai‘i, among others, started catching on that she might not be the person they thought her to be.
Meanwhile, Sherry Alu Campagna, a small business owner, feminist, environmental scientist, foster mother, and actual Native Hawaiian, thought to herself that someone should run for office to do the right thing and actually represent the people. A member of The Resistance, Sherry had already organized the state Womenʻs March and taken the state reps to march in DC. Sherry had that “Aha!” moment that thousands of Americans have had since the 2016 election: We are the ones who are going to save ourselves! Sherry made the decision to run for office to ensure that the people of Hawai‘i have a stronger voice and the other Democrats representing Hawai‘i have a partner in the ongoing resistance against 45ʻs disastrous reign.
We WILL win, but we need your help! Donate here to send a true-blue Dem to Congress!
