Gary Cordery Takes On Hawaii’s Democratic Governor | Wilmington News

Gary Cordery just won the Republican nomination for Hawaii governor in a surprise primary upset over Ken Fujiyama, setting his sights on taking on incumbent Democratic Gov. Josh Green in November — a daunting task in a state that’s been reliably blue since 2010. Facing steep odds, including a massive financial gap and a historically Democratic electorate, Cordery is doubling down with a bold platform: slash housing costs by building 15,000 homes for working families, eliminate the General Excise Tax on food and medicine, freeze property taxes for seniors, and overhaul state spending — citing New Hampshire as proof that smaller budgets can work. He’s pitching himself as the accountability-driven alternative who understands Hawaii’s pain points and promises smarter stewardship of the islands’ resources to deliver real opportunity.
