Union Endorses Challenger Against Kim | Honolulu News

Hawaii’s largest public workers union is backing a challenger against long-time Senator Donna Mercado Kim, accusing her of bullying and intimidation—calling her tactics “Trumpian”—after a heated February Senate hearing sparked backlash from school officials. Kim defends her questioning as necessary, claiming union leadership is the real bully. The union has officially endorsed Christy MacPherson, a community-focused nonprofit worker, who’s running on her vision, not just opposition to Kim.
