Sen. Mazie Hirono will be breaking bread with President Barack Obama over at his place tonight.

Hirono’s office confirmed this morning that she’ll be part of a bipartisan group of women senators invited by Obama to dine at the White House as part of his “charm campaign” of dining with members of Congress.

It’s the first time she has dined with the President at the White House, a spokesman said.
