Djou Heading Home After Deployment

Former Rep. Charles Djou is en route to Hawaii after several months in Afghanistan, according to an email sent by his campaign for U.S. House.

The Republican Army Reserve officer was deployed to the region shortly after he announced his candidacy in Hawaii’s First Congressional District race in August.

Djou’s wife, Stacey, wrote that she is “happy and relieved” that he’ll soon be back in Hawaii after what seemed like a “lifetime apart.”
