These speeches took me by surprise.
I’ll be curious to hear what you think of them.

I actually changed my mind about who I’m supporting. How about that!

1. kahele used his congress seat as a jumping off point to run for governor

he told us he wanted to be in congress....but he didnt really

2. In effect yes but I think you gave him a little too much credit for foresight.

What I understand from folks who work with them is the January 6 was a big 180. He didn’t want his wife and kids to be there and his family didn’t want to be there anymore either.

I don’t blame them. I certainly wouldn’t want to be there either. It’s a whole different kind of crazy they were threatening and it’s only over in our dreams or denial. Things change sometimes and this situation, things changed a lot.

I was disappointed myself but I’ve gotten used to the idea. I am relieved that is running for governor because I am really not impressed with Josh Green and Vicky leaves me cold.

3. Kai Kahele

whatever his reasons for leaving DC, running for governor is too big a step for him. If he wanted to stay in local politics, there are other options. Josh Green has been a good Lt.Gov. and that experience will make him a good governor.

4. Hmmm. State Senator and US Congressman

Lt Colonel, not enough experience? We disagree. Cheers!

5. How do you assess the working relationship between Gov Ige and Josh

Over the yeas since the fist lt gov left?
