Belatti Defends Independent Voice | Honolulu News

Lieutenant Governor candidate Della Belatti is stepping into the spotlight after a tense exchange with Governor Josh Green, who questioned her independence. Belatti says she’s reaching out to mend fences, stressing that while she may challenge the governor’s team on certain issues, she fully supports his major initiatives on housing, homelessness, and mental health. She’s positioning herself as a necessary counterbalance — someone willing to speak up even when it’s unpopular. Meanwhile, Green also took a shot at rival candidate John Choi, questioning his experience, all while staying neutral in the race. Belatti’s strategy? Carve out her own lane, championing tough conversations and balanced governance in a race where every move counts.
