BEST GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE, Winner Neil Abercrombie Address: 1050 Ala Moana Boulevard, Honolulu, HI 96814 Phone: 808-589-2237 Fax: 808-591-0468 Website: http://www.neilabercrombie.com/ Former Congressman Abercrombie still faces a tough primary battle with Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann before he even gets to the general election, but if MauiTime readers had their way he’d win in a landslide. For a primer on Abercrombie’s positions and policies, see our June 3 Q&A with him; in short, he’s putting education at the forefront of his campaign, clearly in an effort to distinguish himself from the current (and soon-to-be termed out) governor, whose own education record is spotty to say the least (see Best State Blunder). In the end, whether he wins or loses, Abercrombie is committed; he quit his Congressional post earlier this year to focus full time on his campaign, a decision for which he drew some heat. His defense: “I’m running for governor. You run for governor, you go all in.”
