Let The Games Begin

By /
Can you believe it’s August? This is the month that many of Hawaii’s potential candidates for House and Senate promised they’d make official campaign announcements. 

Will former Gov. Linda Lingle join the U.S. Senate race? Will former Congressman Charles Djou challenge Rep. Colleen Hanabusa for her seat in the House? Or will Hanabusa abandon her post to run for Senate? And what is former Mayor Mufi Hannemann going to do?

Time to place your bets on what comes next. Read some of Civil Beat‘s early election coverage, and make your predictions:
