Republican candidate for Hawaiʻi governor and former Lt. Gov. Duke Aiona shares knowledge of that position with his opponent, Democrat and current Lt. Gov. Josh Green. Aiona was lieutenant governor under Gov. Linda Lingle from 2002 to 2010. He also ran for governor in 2010 and 2014, losing to Democrats Neil Abercrombie and David Ige, respectively.
