Hirono En Route to New York for Break

By /
DC808 trailblazer Adrienne LaFrance spotted Mazie Hirono on an Amtrak train from Washington D.C. to New York this morning.

With Congress out of action for the rest of this week for the Thanksgiving holiday, Hirono was traveling with her husband.

“This is the first break I’ve had in 18 months,” she said. In addition to serving in the House, Hirono has been running for the U.S. Senate. The work paid off with a 25-point win over Linda Lingle earlier this month. Hirono’s set to be sworn in to the Senate in early January.
