Hirono Says Lingle ‘Listening’ to Wrong People

By /
That comes from a press release issued by the Mazie Hirono campaign for U.S. Senate.

Highlights:

• In her TV ads, Republican Linda Lingle claims she’s “listening.” Problem is: Lingle’s listening to the national Republicans in Washington, not the rest of us in Hawaii.

 • In Washington, DC today, Lingle met with the U.S. Senate Republican Policy Committee at a “roundtable” event hosted in Lingle’s honor. As Lingle entered the event, held at Washington’s Bistro Bis Restaurant on Capitol Hill, she turned her back on a straightforward question — refusing to support President Obama’s Fair Pay Act, a commonsense law to help ensure women are paid the same as men for doing the same work.

• Lingle also refuses to appear at any side-by-side debates with her Republican primary opponent, John Carroll, and has purchased her own TV channel to mask her national-Republican ideology, rewrite her turbulent history as Governor, and deny her own record of divisive partisanship.

Civil Beat has asked the Lingle campaign for a response but has not heard back yet. Meanwhile, here’s a link to a Lingle ad titled People First: Linda Lingle is Listening.
