OverviewA fresh look at Hawai'i politics, past and present, is the theme of Fred Rohlfing's autobiography, Island Son: The Life and Times of Hawai'i's Republican Reformer. In his 280-page memoir, the former state senator and long-time public servant provides an alternative view of life in Hawai'i's traditionally Democratic-controlled political arena. In Island Son, Rohlfing recounts his eight legislative victories and two narrow Congressional campaign losses and shares inside details of leasehold reform, early mass transit efforts and other political issues of the 1970s still relevant today. He is blunt in describing his battles for a more diversified GOP during the early statehood years and offers equally candid opinions on current political issues such as the Superferry, the Akaka Bill and education decentralization.
