Colleen Hanabusa Takes First Steps In Run For Honolulu Mayor
Colleen Hanabusa is considering seeking the office of mayor of Honolulu in 2020.
The former U.S. congresswoman has filed an organizational report with the Hawaii Campaign Spending Commission.
It lists Honolulu City Councilwoman Ann Kobayashi as chair.
Inquiries to Hanabusa on Thursday were not immediately returned.
Update: A public relations firm Thursday afternoon issued a statement from Hanabusa: “As the next group of federal subpoenas go out to the employees of HART, I believe, like many of you, it’s very sad to see this type of mismanagement and corruption at the highest levels of government in Hawaii. The public has lost trust in the city.”
The statement continued: “There are people in positions of power that don’t seem to care about the well being of our children’s future and the quality of life of the residents of Honolulu. The rail and homelessness are out of control and I cannot sit by and do nothing as I watch the Hawaii I love, and our people, lose all trust and hope. I know in my heart that we can turn this around with hard work and leadership. We can do this together, but it will require us to fight and make tough decisions.”
