The Hawaii Legislature officially opens next week Wednesday so it's kind of appropriate to note that a state senator has begun blogging. Senator Gary L. Hooser , representing the good people of Kaua'i, has a LiveJournal site and has been posting since November of last year. He should be applauded for opening another path for conversations from not only his constituents but from 'netizens as well.
Drop me a line if anyone knows of other local legislators that have blogs and I'll be glad to list them here (both Republican and Democrats are welcome). So far, I've found Representative Jon Riki Karamatsu (blogging since 2002) and Representative Brian Schatz (blogging since 2004).

... so you exclude anyone who is neither a Republican nor a Democrat ...
