HI-02: Hawaii state Sen. Kai Kahele will run for Tulsi Gabbard's seat
Hawaii state Sen. Kai Kahele officially announced today that he plans to run for the congressional seat occupied by U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, setting up a potential 2020 Democratic primary challenge for Gabbard early on as she embarks on her bid for president. The congressional seat represents the neighbor islands and rural Oahu.
Kahele made his announcement at the Moʻoheau Bandstand in downtown Hilo, where Hawaii’s Democratic Party rallies every election. He was surrounded by his family, including wife and two children, and supporters. Former state Sen. Brickwood Galuteria moderated the event. State Sen. Lorraine Inouye (D-Kaupulehu-Waimea-North Hilo) also attended.
Announcing on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Kahele referenced the late leader of the Civil Rights movement’s dedication to social and economic justice as inspiration for his congressional run, quoting King: “Lifeʻs most persistent and urgent question is, What are you doing for others?”

I’m looking forward to seeing how I can best serve the country.”
Of course. 
"Former state Sen. Brickwood Galuteria moderated the event. State Sen. Lorraine Inouye (D-Kaupulehu-Waimea-North Hilo) also attended." Sounds like maybe Gabbard is going to have to think about politics.
That doesn't sound like Sen. Kahele'd be someone Rep. Ocasio's Tennessee-based Justice Democrats/Brand New Congress (purge is the goal) would choose to primary Gabbard.
