'''Daniel Akaka''' (born September 11, 1924) is a [[Democratic]] [[United States Senator]] and a former member of the [[United States Representative]] from [[Hawaii]]. He was elected to the House of Representatives from the Second Congressional District of Hawaii in 1971, and was reelected in until 1988. Akaka was appointed to the U.S. Senate to fill the seat left empty by the death of former United States Senator [[Spark M. Matsunaga]]. In April 2006, he was selected by [[Time Magazine]] as one of "America's Five Worst Senators." The article criticized him for mainly authoring minor legislation, calling him "master of the minor resolution and the bill that dies in committee." During his 2006 Senate reelection campaign, Akaka faced a primary challenge by Congressman [[Ed Case]]. Akaka won the Democratic primary by eight percentage points and went on to win the general election by twenty-six points.
