The Hawaii gubernatorial election of 2010 was held on November 2, 2010 to determine the next Governor and Lieutenant Governor of Hawaii. The winning candidates will serve a four-year term from 2011 to 2015. Incumbent Republican Governor Linda Lingle was term-limited in 2010 and not eligible to run for re-election. Former congressman Neil Abercrombie was declared the winner, defeating lieutenant governor James "Duke" Aiona. Abercrombie's win brings Hawaii back to having a Democrat in the Governor's office for the first time since 2003.
The winners of the 2010 lieutenant governor primary election became the running mates of the 2010 gubernatorial nominees.[1] Abercrombie's running mate Brian Schatz will serve as Hawaii's next lieutenant governor.
