Capitol Hill Feasted on Hirono’s Hawaiian Hospitality

Looks like we missed a great party in D.C.

Roll Call has this report on U.S. Sen. Mazie Hirono’s Hawaii on the Hill event yesterday that welcomed about three dozen Hawaii businesses and vendors to the U.S. Capitol.

Excerpt:

“The party was such a big hit the cops were called because we had too many people,” an aide to Sen. Mazie K. Hirono, D-Hawaii, told HOH about the overwhelming response to the Aloha State’s July 23 taste-around.

Roll Call gossip blogger Warren Rojas (HOH stands for “Heard on the Hill”) goes on to say that the inaugural event “was packed during our visit, with waves of people — all wearing complimentary purple-flowered leis (700 were distributed throughout the evening) — flowing in and out of the Kennedy Caucus Room.”

The Kennedy Caucus Room is located in the Russell Senate Building, just a short distance from the Capitol.

Hirono is said to have greeted each guest with an “Aloha!” The guests included Sens. Dick Durbin and Chuck Schumer.
