Charles Djou is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on August 9, 1970 in Los Angeles, United States. Charles Kong Djou (born August 9 1970) is a prominent American politician who was the U.S. Representative for Hawaii’s 1st congressional district during 2010-11. As an ally of the Republican Party, Djou won his congressional seat in a special election, in which the Democratic Party votes were split between several candidates. However, Djou was defeated during the general election in November, after the Democratic primary had only one candidate. Djou was previously a member of both Honolulu City Council and the Hawaii House of Representatives. Hawaii House of Representatives and the Honolulu City Council, was the first Thai American of any party and also the only Chinese American Republican to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives. In June of 2016, Djou entered the race for Honolulu’s Mayor. Honolulu in which he was defeated 48%-52 percent against Democratic Party incumbent Kirk Caldwell. Djou quit from the Republican Party in March 2018. At the time of his departure, Djou is the last Republican to be elected to represent Hawaii within Hawaii’s U.S. House of Representatives.

The year 2000 was the time he was a candidate for Hawaii State House of Representatives District 47 seat. In the primary, he was unopposed and he was up against Catalani for the primary election. Catalani had to face controversy during the campaign, including allegations that she violated an agreement with The Outdoor Circle, a community beautification group, by putting up yard signs. Djou took the victory by a margin of 52.5 percentage of vote , compared to Catalani’s 44.2 percent.

In 2002, Djou announced he would run for the Honolulu City Council. He also announced he would move to East Honolulu (City Council District IV) from Kaneohe (City Council District III) to avoid running against fellow Republican Stan Koki. Honolulu City and County elections are officially nonpartisan, and any candidate who wins a majority of the votes in the primary election can win outright. No candidate received a majority of the votes in the primary election, so Djou and Robert Fishman, a former City Managing Director and Chief of Staff to the Governor, faced each other in a runoff in the general election. Djou won with 51.3 percent of the vote to Fishman’s 39.2 percent.

In the special election, Djou received 39.4 percent of the vote. He defeated five Democrats, four Republicans, and four independent candidates. Among the candidates Djou defeated were former Congressman Ed Case and State Senator Colleen Hanabusa, two Democrats who together polled over 58% of the vote. Djou was sworn in three days later and was in office for the remainder of Abercrombie’s 2008 term. He was the first Republican to represent the district in 20 years. He followed Abercrombie and Patsy Mink as the third person to have been in the Honolulu City Council, Hawaii State Legislature and U.S. Congress, and was the first to be elected to all three chambers before age 40.

As an elected representative of the State House of Representatives, Djou was a member of the Hawaii House of Representatives from 2000 until 2002, and became the minority floor leader. Djou began a campaign to allow the State Budget worksheets to the public after being told that he could view these budget sheets in the room of the committee, but was not allowed to make notes or take copies of the worksheets. These documents provide the budgets of various states departments and agencies. He was opposed to his state’s “van cam” program launched in 2002 to identify speeders by using automatic cameras rather than police and succeeded in bringing about its elimination.
