By /
That comes from the NRCC, according to a press release posted by the Hawaii Republican Party.

Excerpt:

The National Republican Congressional Committee today announced Charles Djou as a “Contender” candidate, the important third step in the “Young Guns” program. Founded during the 2007-2008 election cycle by Reps. Eric Cantor (R-VA), Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Paul Ryan (R-WI), the “Young Guns” program is a Member-driven effort that is the primary method for recruiting strong candidates for both open-seat and challenger races. Djou is running for Hawaii’s First Congressional district. …

The “Young Guns” program encourages candidates who have proven their ability to meet crucial campaign benchmarks to develop their campaigns further in order to achieve victory on Election Day. In achieving “Contender” status, Djou has met the third set of these organizational and fundraising benchmarks and has already begun to establish himself as a strong contender.
