Cedric Gates

Cedric Asuega Gates is a Democratic member of the Hawaii House of Representatives, representing District 44. He was first elected to the chamber in 2016. Gates' election was controversial as his 2014 candidacy as a Green Party candidate should have barred his 2016 nomination as a Democrat under the Democratic Party of Hawaii's rules.[1]

Elections

In 2014, Gates ran as a Green Party candidate in District 44, losing to Jo Jordan.

In 2016, Gates defeated incumbent Jo Jordan in the District 44 Democratic primary and went on to defeat Marc Pa'aluhi in the general election.[2]
