1st District
The First congressional district is far smaller in area and has a much denser population than the 2nd district. Covering the southeastern parts of the City & County of Honolulu, including downtown Honolulu, the district was represented by Neil Abercrombie from 1991 until his resignation in February 2010. Republican Charles Djou won a special election on May 22, 2010 against Democrats Colleen Hanabusa and Ed Case to become the first Republican in over 20 years to represent the 1st district and to represent President Obama's home district. On November 2, 2010, Hanabusa defeated Djou and is the United States Representative for Hawaii's 1st congressional district.
