Lt. Governor Aiona will make his decision after the 2012 elections. In the meantime, he’ll take a private sector job.
From StarAdvertiser.com:
The Republican, who lost to Gov.-elect Neil Abercrombie by 17 percentage points earlier this month, said he would not consider any other political office. He plans to take a private-sector job within the next few weeks.
“I have no intention, no ambition, no desire to run for any other office, whether it be Congress, Senate, state House seats or whatever it may be. That’s out of the question,” Aiona said. “I only have one office in mind, and that’s the gubernatorial seat in 2014.”
In his first round of news media interviews since the election, Aiona said he has no significant regrets about the campaign but is still trying to determine why the gap with Abercrombie was so large. His internal polls showed him trailing by single digits just before the vote.
