Neil Abercrombie was the seventh governor of Hawaii from 2010 until 2014. He’s a Democratic Party member.
In 1970, he participated in his first political campaign, looking to get the Democratic nomination for US Senate. He was unsuccessful and ran for the Hawaii State House of Representatives.
The distinguishing symbol from Neil’s early campaigns was this yellow Checker Taxi with his face and name painted on the side, which he used since he lacked money for traditional campaigning methods. It became a symbol both of his standing as an outsider from the mainland as well as his unconventional style.
Neil started his political career in 1975, when he won a seat in the Hawaii House of Representatives. He served in the Hawaii House up until 1979, when he got elected to the Hawaii State Senate. Upon the resignation of Cecil Heftel, who resigned from the US House of Representatives in order to run for governor, Neil got elected to his vacant seat in the special election in 1986. However he lost the Democratic primary for an entire term on the same day. He served out the remainder of Heftel’s term until January of 1987. He also served on the Honolulu City Council from 1988 until 1990 before he returned to Congress the following year.
He served 9 consecutive terms in the House from 1993 until 2010, representing Hawaii’s 1st congressional district, which consists of urban Honolulu. In the 2008 election he won 70.6% of the votes.
He was named the Scot of the Year by the Caledonian Society of Hawaii in 2006.
Blood of Patriots is a novel Neil co-wrote. Terrorists storm into the crowded House of Representatives and they open fire. Within just minutes, over a hundred members of Congress and staff lie dead, wounded, or dying on the floor of the nerve center of American democracy.
The nation is shocked, the President is in hiding, and the armed forces are on high alert. However who was it that perpetrated such a horror? And why? Are these conspirators foreign? Or domestic? Right wing militiamen? Drug cartel? Some foreign country? Possibly even homegrown seekers of power? Dead terrorists can tell no tales.
James Burlane bears a commission from the President himself. He is a maverick ex-CIA agent, wit, gourmet, patriot, and cynic, and he asks the time honored question of who benefits? The answers take him right to the heart of this conspiracy which threatens the integrity of the American government.
