Yes. He served on the Honolulu City Council in 1969-70 as a Republican. Then he served two terms in the Hawaii State Legislature from 1970-74 as a Democrat. A bad heart attack forced him to quit politics and take up an easier job, which turned out to be acting. Herman Wedemeyer doesn t sound like a very Hawaiian name. Wedey s family heritage included Hawaiian, German, Irish, English, Chinese, and French Tahitian ancestry. His grandfather came to Hawaii as a young German seaman and married a Hawaiian girl, hence the Teutonic name.
