The governor is a Republican. Look it up.
History was made in Hawaii on November 5, 2002 as Linda Lingle, former mayor of Maui County, was elected as the sixth governor of the State of Hawaii. Lingle is the first female governor elected in Hawaii and the first Republican to hold that office since the State’s first governor, William F. Quinn, in 1962.
Thank you for correcting me on that. I was misinformed and did not take time to verify.
