The United States House of Representatives special election in Hawaii's 2nd congressional district, 2002-2003 occurred on November 30, 2002 and January 4, 2003 to select the successor to Patsy Mink (D) who had died from Pneumonia. In accordance with Hawaiian state law, the special election was officially nonpartisan. ==Background== On August 30, 2002, Mink was hospitalized in Honolulu's Straub Clinic and Hospital with complications from chickenpox. Her condition steadily worsened, and on September 28, 2002, Mink died in Honolulu of viral pneumonia. The week prior to her untimely death, she had won renomination. By this point, it was too late to remove her name from the general election ballot. On November 5, 2002, Mink was posthumously re-elected over state Representative Bob McDermott (R). As a result, this triggered a special election to fill the vacancy. In accordance with Hawaiian law the election was non-partisan and conducted in two rounds, the first to fill the vacancy during the 107th United States Congress and the second for the new term beginning on January 3, 2003.
