The list of Democrats leaving the House this fall is set to grow in the coming weeks as Rep. Kaiali’i Kahele is reportedly retiring from Congress at the end of his term to run for governor, according to a new report. A source familiar with the matter confirmed the decision to CNN, noting that the Hawaii Democrat has been telling colleagues of his plan. He reportedly intends to make a formal announcement in early May. Kahele was suspected to throw his hat in the gubernatorial ring in recent weeks as he faced criticism for his part-time work as a commercial pilot for Hawaiian Airlines and his perennial absence from Washington, D.C.
