HI-GOV: Hanabusa Announces

[Vega]

She's in.

[Vega]

I assume she'll spank Ige. The interesting question will be who replaces her in the House.

Ige is most certainly starting out at a severe disadvantage, but if he runs his campaign right, there is a lot to attack Hanabusa on in terms of ethics, abandoning her House seat twice when Hawaii needs Congressional seniority for personal political gain, etc. Ige has been a fairly do-nothing Governor, but ethically he's stayed above board.

Ige is, for what it's worth, in a lot better of a position than Abercrombie was when Ige beat him in 2014.
