Colleen Hanabusa running for Mayor of Honolulu
HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - Colleen Hanabusa is running for Honolulu’s mayor. Really.
On her website and Twitter pages, she’s clear that she’s running and is accepting donations. But until now, her campaign has been curiously quiet.
“I am running for Honolulu mayor,” Hanabusa told Hawaii News Now.
“We’ve got problems and we need someone ― and of course I believe this person is me ― who has the requisite experience, connections and a history of being able to tackle the hard issues and know what you are doing. I don’t think running for mayor should be something like training wheels."
Hanabusa was elected to the state Senate in 1998 representing Waianae, and previously served as the first female Senate president.
She also represented Hawaii in Congress, but lost races for U.S. Senate and governor.
In speaking to Hawaii News Now, Hanabusa said she’s running on a record of experience. But she also said she’s no insider.
