Linda Lingle (R)
|
|
Former Maui County Mayor Linda Lingle edged out Lt. Gov. Mazie Hirono in a race some cast as a classic battle of business versus labor interests, with Lingle, also the GOP's candidate in 1998, winning support from developers, the tourism industry, police groups, university professors and the state's major newspapers. The 48-year old Lingle, who supports local control of education and a plan to hire discount prescription drug companies to purchase medication on the state's behalf, is only the second Republican to lead Hawaii since it achieved statehood in 1959.
