That will be the case if Democrat Chris (Kalani) Manabat can defeat Republican Bob McDermott, a former legislator, in the District 40 House race this fall.

Manabat, who turned 28 Tuesday (Aug. 14 — today), is the son of Rep. Rida Cabanilla, 59, who won the District 41 seat (Ewa Beach-West Loch Estates) Democratic primary Saturday. She now faces Republican Adam Reeder.

Manabat finished first in a field of six for the Ewa Beach-Iroquois Point seat. He is a former legislative aide and office manager for his mom.

“I am a very proud mother right now,” Cabanilla told Civil Beat. “Some people might look at this as positive or negative, but the fact of the matter is, when you grow up in a home where there is politics, it just seems the thing to do.”

In other familial matters, Democrat Rep. Ryan Yamane won his primary race but his father, Brian Yamane, a former legislator, lost his.

State Reps. John Mizuno, Rida Cabanilla and Tom Brower.
