Andrew Walden of the ''Hawaii Free Press''<ref>http://www.hawaiifreepress.com/main/AboutHFP/tabid/64/Default.aspx</ref> has said the story of Frank Marshall Davis is completely intertwined with the story of the Hawaii Democrats rise to power.<ref>http://www.aim.org/aim-column/the-frank-marshall-davis-network-in-hawaii/</ref> Communists controlled the ILWU, the ILWU controlled the Hawaii Democratic Party, and in 1954, union-based election campaigns launched the Hawaii Democrats into control of the legislature. Hawaii’s first Democratic Governor Jack Burns, explained in 1975:
{{Cquote|Every guy in the ILWU was at one time or another a member of the Communist Party of America. This is where they got their organizational information and how to organize, and how to bring groups together and how to create cells and how to make movements that are undetected by the bosses.}}
After Burns captured the governor’s office in 1962 it created a one-party state unbroken for four decades until the election of Republican Governor Linda Lingle in 2002. During those decades in some sessions sat as few as one Republican legislator.
