    Born in Fukushima, Japan
    Democrat representing Hawaii's second Congressional district (January 2007-January 2013)

Why she might be annoying:

    She's described as a non-practicing Buddhist.
    She ran for Governor of Hawaii, losing to Linda Lingle (2002).
    She had a partisan voting record (liberal) as a Congresswoman, earning a lifetime 1% score from the American Conservative Union.
    With spending being a major campaign issue in 2012, she struggled to answer how she'd cut federal spending.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She graduated Georgetown University Law Center and the University of Hawaii.
    She became a naturalized U.S. citizen the same year Hawaii became a state (1959).
    She was the first person born in Japan, and the first Asian-American female, to be elected to the United States Senate.
    During a highly polarized election cycle, she was notably endorsed by long-time Republican Representative Don Young of Alaska.
