Republican '''Charles Djou''' (b. August 9, 1970) is currently running for the [[U.S. House of Representatives]] in a special election to replace Democrat representative Neil Abercrombie, who has announced he will step down to run for Governor of [[Hawaii]]. Djou was a State Representative for Hawaii in 2000 and was elected Councilman in 2002 for the city of [[Honolulu]], 4th Council District (Waikiki to Hawaii Kai). <ref>[http://hawaii.gov/elections/results/2002/general/02swgen4.pdf Hawaii Government PDF General Election Results for 2002]</ref> He is a fiscal conservative that has a strong legislative voting record. Charles Djou is a JAG Officer of the [[U.S. Army Reserves]] 9th Regional Readiness Command. Also, he holds a law degree and is the one time Vice Chairman of the Hawaii Republican Party. Politico has called him the next [[Scott Brown]]. <ref>[http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0110/31709.html The next Scott Brown?, Politico, January 20, 2010]</ref>
==History==
Charles Djou was born in Hawaii, his father was born in Shanghai, China and his mother is from Bangkok, [[Thailand]]. Charles graduated from Punahou School. He earned both a B.A. in Political Science and a B.S. in Economics from the [[University of Pennsylvania]], Wharton School of Finance and Commerce, graduating magna cum laude in 1992. Djuo earned his law degree from the University of Southern California law school in 1996.

==Political Resume==
* City Councilman, 2003-Present
* State Representative, 2000-2002
* House Minority Floor Leader, 2001-2002
* Assistant House Minority Whip, 2000-2001
* Small Business Hawaii "Legislator of the Year," 2001 and 2003
* Hawaii Republican Party, Vice Chairman, 1998-1999
* Honolulu Weekly, named "Best Politician" in the state in 2005
==Special Election==
Charles is the only Republican running for Hawaii 1st District in the U.S. House of Representatives since Neil Abercombie's deciding to step down February 23, 2010. Currently he faces three Democratic challengers before the special election is to be held within 60 days. He is emphasizing fiscal responsibility in [[Washington D.C.]], focusing on creating jobs by cutting taxes.
Strong anti-Democrat resentment and a growing [[TEA Party]] movement may significantly improve Djou chances to gain a [[Republican]] seat in Congress.
