The Hawaiʻi Republican Party is the state affiliate of the Republican Party of the United States. Based in Honolulu, the party is a central organization established for the promotion of the party platform as it is drafted in convention every other year. It is also charged with registering voters and delivering voter turnout through four major county organizations for Hawaiʻi, Kauaʻi, Maui and the City & County of Honolulu. The Hawaiʻi Republican Party ruled Hawaiʻi during the territorial period but lost that power during the infancy of Hawaiʻi's statehood. In 2002, it regained control of the governorship from the Democratic Party of Hawaiʻi for the first time in forty years.
Political position
As compared with the national Republican Party, Republicans in Hawaiʻi who hold elective office tend to be moderates. As a whole, they advocate limited government, lower taxes, decentralized control of public schools, and improving Hawaiʻi's business climate.[1] However, on social issues such as abortion, they tend to be somewhat less conservative than the national party as a whole. For example, Republican Governor Linda Lingle is pro-choice, but favors parental notification.
