Special election for Abercrombie's seat set for May 22

[ccharles000]

The state Office of Elections has tentatively set May 22 for a special election to fill out the remainder of U.S. Rep. Neil Abercrombie's term in Congress.

Abercrombie, D-Hawaii, is resigning on Sunday to return to the Islands and campaign full time in the Democratic primary for governor.

Former congressman Ed Case, state Senate President Colleen Hanabusa and Honolulu City Councilman Charles Djou have said they would run in the special election.

The victor of the winner-take-all special election would fill out the remaining months of Abercrombie's term, which ends in January 2011.
