Nothing like an attack ad to jump start election season.

The Pacific Resource Partnership continued its criticism of former Gov. Ben Cayetano with a new television ad that began running today.

Cayetano is running against Kirk Caldwell in the race to become Honolulu’s next mayor.

In a new ad, titled “Leader”, PRP once again goes after Cayetano for being involved in a pay-to-play culture. This is a topic we covered quite extensively leading up to the Aug. 11 primary.
