Inside Honolulu talked to Sen. Clayton Hee today about the rumors that he’s a potential candidate for Honolulu mayor.

The short answer: No, because he believes Ben Cayetano is running.

“I’ve had a lot of discussion with a lot of people about that,” Hee said. “But I believe Gov. Cayetano will run for mayor, and that being so, I intend to support him.”

What if Cayetano decides not to run? Would Hee change his mind?

“It’s a possibility, but I’m confident enough that he’s going to run that I feel that I can give you that statement,” he said. “I know he hasn’t announced, but I feel like he will run based on the way I’ve seen him behave.”
