Hawaii Attorney General Douglas Chin, who filed a court challenge to President Trump’s travel ban, announced Monday he will run for Congress.
The Democrat, an outspoken critic of the Trump administration, said the events of the last year inspired him to run, The Associated Press reported.
Trump issued an executive order in January banning travel to the United States from seven Muslim-majority countries. Days later, Chin sued to stop the ban, saying the administration couldn’t enforce it against certain relatives.
He has sued over every version of the ban issued since.
