Island Summit Update - Governor Linda Lingle
Hawaii Governor Linda Lingle just finished up a powerful and inspiring speech to the attendees at the RNC Island Summit.
Governor Lingle spoke about the importance of the grassroots in political campaigns in local races on up to Congressional elections. And she should know, having put together one of the great grassroots campaigns in recent history when she won re-election in 2006 with 63% of the vote and became the first Hawaiian candidate for governor to win each of Hawaii's 51 state house districts.
Governor Lingle provided her insight in how to put together a winning campaign - work district by district and person by person. She reminded all of the attendees of their power to impact hundreds or even thousands of voters in the 2010 election. A person to person campaign that features neighbors knocking on doors and calling their friends is a powerful force in electoral politics.
Finally, Governor Lingle urged her audience to look for candidates - like Hawaiian gubernatorial candidate Duke Aiona and U.S. House candidate Charles Djou - who want to improve people's lives and make families and communities stronger. Regular, everyday citizens have extraordinary power to change their community, their state and their country for the better if they find candidates they believe in and go to work for their election.
