Hawaii has an opening in the U.S. House of Representatives after now-former Rep. Neil Abercrombie resigned yesterday to run for governor.

A special election to fill the vacancy will be held May 22.

Three major candidates are vying for the seat: Republican City Councilman Charles Djou along with Democrats Senate President Colleen Hanabusa and former U.S. Rep. Ed Case.

A grand opening for Abercrombie's gubernatorial campaign headquarters at Ward Warehouse was canceled Saturday because of the tsunami but will be rescheduled, possibly for this Saturday, a campaign spokeswoman said.
