Senator Daniel Inouye has represented Hawaii in the US Congress since it achieved statehood in 1959, serving as Hawaiis first US Representative and later on as US Senator. He is the third most senior member among the Democrats and the third oldest US Senator.

Democrat Senator Daniel Akaka, on the other hand, is the fourth oldest member of the US Senate and the first senator of native Hawaiian ancestry with Chinese descent.
