Duke Aiona announces gubernatorial run
James “Duke” Aiona — a former Circuit Court judge who served as lieutenant governor — today announced his latest run to become governor as a Republican.
Aiona officially declared his intention last week on the last day to file papers for his candidacy.
He served two terms as former Gov. Linda Lingle’s lieutenant governor and ran unsuccessfully against eventual Gov. Neil Abercrombie and then against current Gov. David Ige.
