Answer 8

Governor Linda Lingle -
Office Address:
Hawai`i State Capitol
Executive Chambers
Honolulu, HI 96813

Governor Linda Lingle took office on December 2, 2002, committed to bringing about a “New Beginning” for the people of Hawai`i by making state government more open, transparent and responsive. She makes good on that promise every day.
During her Administration’s first 42 months, Governor Lingle has worked to expand and diversify the economy while returning fiscal discipline to government. Hawai`i’s vibrant economy is the strongest it has been in more than a decade and continues to grow faster than the national average. Here are some pertinent facts:
Hawai`i’s average unemployment rate during 2005 was 2.8 percent – the lowest in the country (52,200 new jobs added since December 2002);
The state Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism projects continued economic expansion, with solid growth expected in employment and income through 2006;
Tourism, the state’s number-one industry, enjoyed a record-breaking year in 2005, as nearly 7.4 million visitors came to our islands;
Visitor arrivals and expenditures are expected to increase again this year.
When Governor Lingle and her Lt. Governor James R. “Duke” Aiona, Jr. came into office, the state was spending $215 million more than it was collecting. The state's year-end balance increased from $117 million in Fiscal Year 2003 to $650 million in Fiscal Year 2006, a more than 400% increase. This strong financial position was achieved while preserving $175 million in the Hurricane Relief Fund which the previous administration had planned to spend to balance the budget. Today the state enjoys a healthy budget surplus.
One of the biggest challenges facing Hawai`i is a longstanding dependence on costly imported oil. To promote the use of clean, reliable, cost-effective and renewable power sources, Governor Lingle signed a series of “Energy for Tomorrow” bills this year that further her Administration’s bold and comprehensive strategy for achieving energy self-sufficiency. Along with encouraging conservation and protecting consumers against rising prices, the state now supports development of alternative energy, such as wind, solar, wave and hydrogen, along with ethanol and other biofuels produced through farming. The Administration’s efforts are helping Hawai`i move toward achieving the goal of having 20 percent of all energy in the state come from renewable sources by the year 2020.
Hawai`i is blessed with a beautiful and unique natural environment. But this environment is also fragile, and many animals and plants are endangered. The Governor is dedicated to protecting our natural resources through measures such as fighting invasive species and engaging in public-private efforts to preserve environmentally and culturally significant sites, including beautiful Waimea Valley on O`ahu and the Wao Kele o Puna on the Big Island.
Her Administration worked closely with the White House Council of Environmental Quality in designating the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands as a National Monument, thus affording the highest possible protection from the federal government. Encompassing about 140,000 square miles, this National Monument is the largest marine sanctuary in the world.
The Lingle-Aiona Administration is also striving to significantly increase the supply of affordable housing, provide more financial assistance to low-income renters and better maintain the state’s public housing projects. Governor Lingle is working to develop immediate and long-term solutions to Hawai`i’s homeless problem. The Administration opened the Next Step emergency shelter in Kaka`ako, where 200 adults and 90 children receive help in finding permanent housing, medical care and other social services. In June, Governor Lingle took the first bold step in addressing the growing homeless problem on the Leeward coast by convening a community meeting with over 400 people in Wai`anae. Using lessons learned from the Next Step emergency shelter, she is working on using a similar approach to have emergency shelters in place in Wai`anae by the end of this year.
Another major initiative for Governor Lingle is keeping Hawai`i on the move by expanding and better maintaining the state’s transportation infrastructure. This includes upgrading state highways and commercial harbors, and launching a $2.3 billion modernization program to create about a world-class airport system.
Improving the public education system is another top priority for Governor Lingle by putting more teachers into classrooms, directing more funding to the schools and calling for more accountability from the centralized education bureaucracy. She also wants to provide additional support for charter schools and public libraries, while increasing autonomy and funding for the University of Hawai`i system.
Protecting the public is one of the Administration’s prime responsibilities. To that end, the Lingle-Aiona Administration is bolstering disaster preparedness efforts, addressing drug abuse and underage drinking issues, through prevention, treatment and law enforcement, improving correctional facilities and services, and enacting more effective laws for fighting crime – including the escalating problem of identify theft.
Governor Lingle also wants to assist all the people of Hawai`i in leading long and healthy lives. Her Administration is expanding access to quality medical services, providing help for long-term care, and enhancing services for the mentally ill and disabled. She also emphasizes prevention by encouraging residents to avoid smoking, eat a proper diet and exercise on a regular basis.
Since Governor Lingle came into office, her Administration has fulfilled promises to Native Hawaiians. This includes building not just houses, but communities for the benefit of Native Hawaiians. Under her leadership, the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands has awarded more residential leases and provided more families with opportunities for home ownership than in the entire decade of the 1990s.
Governor Lingle has also strengthened Hawai`i’s educational, business and cultural ties with other nations, especially our Asia-Pacific neighbors. She has traveled to Japan, Israel, China and South Korea, and to the Philippines to form partnerships in education, trade, business, and nursing. She is also the honorary chair of the Hawai`i Filipino Centennial Celebration.
Governor Lingle has hosted three Asia-Pacific Homeland Security Conferences in Honolulu, and founded the annual International Women’s Leadership Conference. And in November 2005, she was awarded the Diversity Best Practices Award for Leadership in Government – the first such award for a state’s chief executive.
The military remains near and dear to the Governor’s heart, as she keeps our servicemen and servicewomen and their families in her thoughts and prayers. She visited Hawai`i troops in Iraq, Japan and Korea, and makes it a point to remember and reflect on their tremendous sacrifices at her many speaking engagements.
Admiral Gary Roughead, commander of U.S. Pacific Fleet said, “For those of us who wear the uniform in Hawai`i, we have no stronger support or genuine friend. Governor Lingle is a remarkable leader, citizen and human being.”
Recently Governor Lingle also had the honor of christening the USS Hawai`i, the Navy’s newest and most advanced nuclear attack submarine. She also serves as the submarine’s sponsor.
Governor Lingle is the sixth elected Governor of Hawai`i. She is also the first mayor, first woman, first Republican and first person of Jewish ancestry to lead the Aloha State in over 40 years.
She first served the people of Hawai`i in 1980 as a member of the Maui County Council, and went on to complete five two-year terms, three representing the island of Moloka`i. In 1990 she was elected Mayor of Maui County and served two terms. Under her leadership, job growth was faster in Maui County than anywhere else in the state.
Governor Lingle is a native of St. Louis, Missouri. When she was 12, her family moved to Southern California, where she attended public schools. She relocated to Hawai`i in 1975 after graduating *** laude with a journalism degree from California State University, Northridge. In 1976, she founded and began serving as publisher of the Moloka`i Free Press.
