The new Chair of the Democratic Party of Hawaii Mr. Tim Vanderveer said today after his election at the Sheraton Hotel in Waikiki. “The torch has been passed to a new generation.”
Jacce Mikulanec, Tyler Dos Santos-Tam, Florence Kong Kee and Tim Vandeveer were in the race to replace Stephanie Ohigashi as chair of the Democratic Party of Hawaii.
Tim Vanderveer was elected what is widely seen as a sign the old Inouye machine and the big labor Union candidates lost.
Vanderveer is also an unrelenting supporter of Bernie Sanders for president, the independent senator from Vermont standing up against Hillary Clinton. Him becoming the leader of the Hawaii democratic party will make him a super candidate. He will most certainly take his vote for Bernie Sanders to the upcoming national party convention in Philadelphia.
