Hawaii Lieutenant Gov. Brian Schatz has been tapped to fill the Senate seat left vacant by the death of longtime Democratic Sen. Daniel Inouye earlier this month. Schatz will serve until the midterm election in 2014. His appointment marks a rejection of Inouye’s reported choice for who would replace him, Hawaii Rep. Colleen Hanabusa.
