The politics of the U.S. state of Hawaii typically take place within the framework of a Democrat-dominated government. The Democratic Party in Hawaii was formed in 1900,by supporters of Queen Liliʻuokalani. For the first half of the twentieth century,the Republican Party ruled comfortably,dominating local politics until the end of World War II. After the war,Honolulu police officer John A.

This culminated in the Hawaii Democratic Revolution of 1954,after which Republican political influence in the islands was greatly diminished.
