About Tulsi

Running for Congress

Tulsi entered the race as a clear underdog against a well-established candidate, ran a positive campaign focused on servant leadership in the spirit of aloha, and won a resounding victory.

Tulsi on election night, 2012.

Tulsi came home, forever changed, committed to fighting for peace and an end to regime change wars. Between her two tours of duty in the Middle East, Tulsi worked in the U.S. Senate as a legislative aide to Senator Danny Akaka, where she focused on veterans' issues.

She knew the decisions that led to the destruction and suffering caused by the war in Iraq were made in Washington D.C. So, at 31 years old, Tulsi ran for Congress.

She entered the race as a clear underdog against a well-established candidate, ran a positive campaign focused on servant leadership in the spirit of aloha, and won a resounding victory.
