Edwin Boyette, who had served as the state party's vice chairman for communications, resigned on Jan. 24, one day after posting the tweets on the Hawaii GOP account. "It deserves a Republican Party that fights for the people’s best interests instead of fighting between themselves." The party's statement said Ostrov invigorated the Hawaii GOP, bringing in national resources to help candidates and presided over a 60% increase in party members in 2020.
