The two are neck-and-neck. Will the Sierra Club’s intervention help tip the scales? The group is hoping so. 

DC808 reports:

The Sierra Club says it will invest “significant resources” in a new “targeted mail campaign” to reach voters in Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District.

Excerpt from a press release:

Three mail pieces — each reaching 48,000 Hawaii homes — will contrast Tulsi Gabbard’s business background, military experience, and strong environmental record with Mufi Hannemann’s history of pay-to-play politics, bullying and environmental mismanagement.

Quote from Anthony Aalto, chair of the Sierra Club, Oahu Group:

As a businesswoman, a veteran, and an elected official who fought to protect Hawai‘i’s natural legacy, Tulsi Gabbard has proven she’s the kind of leader we can trust to create jobs and stand up to special interests. In sharp contrast, Mufi Hannemann has an abysmal environmental record, a paper trail of bullying personal attacks and a record of siding with wealthy campaign contributors. 

Civil Beat left a message with the Hannemann campaign seeking comment.
