In their Gubernatorial primary, Hawaii Republicans are facing choices including anti-vaxxer Gary Cordery, retired MMA fighter BJ Penn, and the cocaine dealer’s ex-wife, Councilmember Heidi Tsuneyoshi.
But, on June 4, 2022, former Lt Governor James Duke Aiona pulled papers.
(UPDATE: Aiona filed for Governor just before the deadline Tuesday, June 7, 2022.)
Will Hawaii Republicans manage to field a credible candidate for Governor?
Duke has until Tuesday to file.
