Posted: Jul 16, 2010 3:55 PM Updated: Jul 16, 2010 4:35 PMHONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - So far, only one neighbor island candidate plans to run for lieutenant governor. Senator Gary Hooser of Kauai, resigned from his senate seat on Friday and plans to file on Monday as a democratic candidate in the race for lieutenant governor.
Hooser served the 7th district of Kauai and Niihau for eight years and actively advocates building a sustainable Hawaii and protecting endangered species. He recently wrote the nation's first Solar Mandate Bill which became a law earlier this year. The law now requires all new homes in Hawaii to use energy efficient water heating systems.
Others candidates running include Lyla Berg, Lynn Finnegan, Jon Karamatsu, Adrienne King, and Brian Schatz.

It's THAT TIME again when the People of Hawaii will have the chance to make a Change in their government. There are so many important issues that should help people to make the Change that is needed in the coming elections.
Raising the cost of the Hawaii Tax to $3.00 on a Pack of Cigarettes is THE ISSUE that should call for a Big Change in the leadership of the State of Hawaii Legislature and those running for Governor and Lt. Governor.
As I don't support Over Taxation of the people. Over Taxation of Cigarettes is HEWA just as Over Taxation of Tea was at the time of the Boston Tea Party.
Long Live The Hawaiian Kingdom, o Pomai
