Tulsi Gabbard - Democrat for Congress

by Kyle Trygstad , May 16, 2012, Roll Call At The Races

A liberal veterans group is going on the air in Hawaii to support Honolulu City Councilwoman Tulsi Gabbard in the open 2nd district.

VoteVets.org, the largest progressive organization of veterans in the country, spent $75,000 to air the ad for 10 days on broadcast television and plans to spend more as the Aug. 11 primary approaches. The ad features several Iraq War veterans describing Gabbard’s biography, which includes military service and public office.

HONOLULU – May 9, 2012 – The Honolulu City Council today passed Resolution 12-57 at its meeting in Windward Oahu. Introduced by Honolulu City Councilmember Tulsi Gabbard, the resolution urges the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to require labeling of genetically engineered (GE) food.
