you know, it is expensive to run a congressional campaign.t year cost $1.8 million, so we ran a general election campaign that cost over $1 million. most of that goes to tv, and if you take a look at the market in hawaii, it is a lot cheaper than anywhere else, so we are buying a point at something like $100, and some of the other markets are spending up to $1000 per point, and we want to keep on raising money, because it is important for us. we need that tv. host: what one aspect of hawaii do you think your fellow members typically do not get? about the state? rep. mark takai: that is a good question. i had the opportunity to travel to asia. there was a bipartisan delegation, and i was the only freshman. i had the honor of representing not only the freshman class but also these services, and i think that just through that visited and the visit to the pacific command, to get the pacific command brief, surprisingly, many senior members of our delegation were unaware of the importance of hawaii being the strategic hub and headquarters for our m
