Unfortunately that is true. We only had one in the state senate and I believe he was defeated.
Did you see the other day there came out a list of how many states have gone Republican in governors and state houses? It also was pointed out that there are only five states that are completely Democrat in governors and state houses and Hawaii is at the top of the list. Gabbard is however somewhat of a independent thinker. I did not vote for her but do have respect for her as she is the only one that seems to be for her constituents instead of Party Lines. I meet her briefly when she first started running as she came to my door while out running for office. I was honest and told her I could not vote for a liberal democrat but she went on to win without my vote. She was very polite and nice.
