Rep. Young Endorsing Hirono In Her Democratic Primary

Congressman Don Young is crossing the aisle.

Hirono is in her third term in the House. She’s a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus – so the video released today of her and Young sharing stories of their strong relationship, caught many by surprise.

Hirono is running against former Representative Ed Case in the primary … and that’s as far as Young’s support will go. A spokesman from his office says he will not campaign for her in the general election – when she has to face a Republican.
