2012 Hawaii Senate Debates: on Principles & Values


Linda Lingle: Work with national Republicans to get things done for Hawaii

Hirono launched into a familiar refrain: "My Republican opponent's economic priorities, my Republican opponent's plan is exactly the same as Mitt Romney's," said Hirono. "My Republican opponent has joined with the national Republican party."

Lingle stood her ground: "My opponent has spent this entire campaign attacking national Republicans. These will be the very people we would have to work with to get something done for Hawaii," said Lingle.

Mazie Hirono: OpEd: Missed twice as many votes as average Congress member

The former governor accused the congresswoman of doing little to help the state: "Your entire record of missed votes is twice that of your typical congressional colleague. How can you look our citizens in the eye and claim that your poor attendance and lack of results reflect the local value of hard work?" asked Lingle.

"This is yet another misleading attack on the part of my Republican opponent," responded Hirono.
