Kawika Crowley to Challenge Tulsi Gabbard in 2014

By /
The Republican who lost to Democrat Tulsi Gabbard in last year’s race for the 2nd Congressional District seat is running again.

Kawika Crowley — known as “The Smoking Guy” because of his advocacy for tobacco use — will be holding a sign-waving “marathon” Monday on Kamehameha Highway near HPU’s Windward campus. 

His platform, according to a media advisory, includes legalization of marijuana in Hawaii, addressing the “stinking mess at DHHL” and the reduction of federal spending that has left us ”with a Federal Government that has become an addictive, morbid, Obese, Fat Ass Sow force-feeding us with her nipples, the size of Mauna Kea.”

Crowley lost to Gabbard 77-19 percent last fall but still picked up 40,000 votes.
