Ige taking a laid-back approach to re-election
Unlike some politicians who’d grab the center of attention at a public event, shaking every hand within reach, Gov. David Ige was characteristically laid-back recently when he visited Maui for a senior housing groundbreaking ceremony in Pukalani and a visit to Kula Hospital.

Recent polls have cast doubt on Ige’s chances for re-election, and Ige acknowledged that his administration has not done enough to publicize its successes.
During an interview earlier this month with The Maui News at Kula Hospital, Ige was not shy about saying he is running for re-election as governor in 2018 and that he’s proud of his administration’s accomplishments.
