Together, this team has over 38 years of legislative experience. Both candidates have and will continue to champion issues important to working families such as better education, lowering the cost of healthcare, maintaining workers’ compensation, and improving long-term care. We can depend on them to work hard to set a course that meets the needs of Hawaii’s future generations. Some of those needs include working on developing clean energy and a statewide grid, maintaining the Jones Act, and stimulating job growth and economic and environmental sustainability.

  • Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance In
    Ho'omalimali and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Skyler Allyn Korgel ANS 678H Departmental Honors in Asian Studies The University of Texas at Austin May 2018 Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Department of Asian Studies Thesis Supervisor Dr. Patricia Maclachlan Department of Government Second Reader Abstract “Ho’omalimali” and the Succession Model of Political Inheritance in Hawai'i: A Study of the Electoral Dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry in State and Congressional Politics Author: Skyler Korgel Thesis Supervisor: Dr. Chiu-Mi Lai Second Reader: Dr. Patricia Maclachlan This thesis seeks to discover the underlying causes and factors for the unique political situation in Hawai'i where a minority demographic has been historically dominant. In researching historical and political contexts, as well as institutional and electoral factors, analysis of all these findings has shown a constructed “succession model” behind the dominance of Americans of Japanese Ancestry (AJA) through the Democratic Party. The thesis also examines the implications of the disrupted and further divisive political climate of the Hawai'i Democratic Party since the death of universally respected and revered Senator Daniel Inouye (1924-2012). Senator Inouye’s death brought to an end a political career that spanned nearly six decades, and commenced a new era for Hawai'i political leadership. Quite possibly, this new era has also fractured the succession model. In a 75% minority state, throughout the past 65 years, Americans of Japanese ancestry have managed to gain a stranglehold over the Hawai'i Democratic Party, and therefore the Hawai’i state government itself.

David Ige has the advantage in the campaign for governor, a new Hawaii Poll shows, scoring well with Japanese-Americans, seniors and union families who are among the most likely to vote in November. Ige, the Democrat, leads former Lt. Gov. James "Duke" Aiona, the Republican, 47 percent to 35 percent. Former Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann, the independent, is at 12 percent, while Jeff Davis, the Libertarian, is at 1 percent. Six percent remain undecided. Nearly half of the voters who say they support Ige believe he shares their values or cite his party affiliation, suggesting that he is benefiting from the state's Democratic tradition. Just 15 percent said they had never heard of or do not know enough about Ige, down from 61 percent in February, when voters first began to view him as a credible alternative to Gov. Neil Abercrombie. "With Ige, that's the only place that we really saw the role of party come up strongly," said Rebecca Ward, president of Ward Research Inc., which conducted the poll for the Honolulu Star-Advertiser and Hawaii News Now. "I believe this is a salute to the Democratic Party." Both Hannemann and Davis have the potential to be spoilers.

  • Responses to Our Members and the Kona Community
    Dear Candidates: The Kona Coffee Farmers Association (KCFA) is requesting declared candidates to complete the enclosed Questionnaire on issues of interest to the Kona coffee farming community. To assist in making voting choices in the primary and general elections, KCFA will provide summaries of candidate responses to our members and the Kona community. Please find the Questionnaire below.

Truth-in-Labeling for Kona Coffee Current state law (HRS 486-120.6) permits the use of the “Kona” name on packages of “Kona coffee blends” which contain as little as 10% actual Kona coffee. No region anywhere in the world (other than Hawaii) authorizes this type of deceptive misuse of the geographic identity of its agricultural products.

  • 2015 State of Hawaii's Sister States
    State of Hawaii’s Sister-States Business Development & Support Division Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism December 2015 2015 HAWAII’S SISTER-STATES REPORT Hawaii Sister-State Committee As of 2015, the Hawaii Sister-State Committee has three active members and awaits the nomination and appointment of two additional members representing the Native Hawaiian cultural organizations and the East-West Center. With three committee members constituting a quorum, the Committee is still able to meet and continue its focus on the following goals and objectives: 1. The Committee will take an active role in evaluating prospective and current sister relationships, for both cultural and economic development reasons, with attention to fostering the most productive ties. There is agreement that most successful sister relationships occur when: a. There is commonality between Hawaii and the sister, primarily from geographical, historical, cultural or economic standpoints. b. There are active and interested support groups, such as Chambers of Commerce, cultural and civic associations. c. There are economic benefits for both sisters, such as increased numbers of visitors, or enhanced investment or marketing opportunities. d. Close ties have been established between educational institutions of the two potential sisters, including both student and faculty exchanges. e. There is a clear, strong governmental interest in not only forming, but maintaining the relationship. 2. To assure the productivity and viability of a sister relationship, the Committee reviewed and revised the sister-state application form originally developed by the Office of International Relations. The Committee also reviewed and revised the Policies and Procedures Manual which governs the process of nominating and evaluating prospective and existing sister-states.
