Hawaii County mayoral candidates Ikaika Marzo and Mitch Roth

Ikaika Marzo is one of two candidates for Hawaii County Mayor.  Mr. Marzo is our guest this week; the other candidate Mitch Roth, is up next week.  Mr. Marzo talks about how he's developing his vision for the Big Island, his plans if he becomes Mayor, and more.   The Big Island Press Club will sponsor a Mayor Candidate Forum with both candidates and Moderator Sherry Bracken together (but apart, with no audience)  on Thursday, October 1, 2020, and available at Big Island Video News (bigislandvideonews.com) and at the Big Island Press Club Facebook Page, among other places.  More details on that as they come!  The Mayor job is huge, especially so this year, in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The ballots will arrive by October 15, 2020, and they must be in the County Elections office by Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2020.  There will be Ballot Drop Boxes around the island, or the ballots may be mailed back--but mail at least a week early.   By the way, if you still want to register...Oct. 5, 2020 is the deadline...go online to elections.hawaii.gov Air date:  Aug. 23, 2020

Island Conversations #93--Mayor candidate Ikaika Marzo

Mayor candidate Ikaika Marzo, a political newcomer, finished the Saturday, August 8 Mayor race as the second vote-getter, with more than 20% of the vote in a crowded 15-person race.  He and current County Prosecutor Mitch Roth, who had just over 30% of the vote, will face off in the General Election, Nov. 3, 2020.  In the all-mail race, ballots will be out in mid-October--or perhaps earlier--so everybody in Hawaii County needs to think about who they will select.  Island Conversations host Sherry Bracken spoke with Ikaika Marzo on Sunday morning, Aug. 9, to get his initial thoughts--his reaction to the election, more about him for those who don't know him,  what he wants voters to consider as they think about their choice for Mayor. He will be a guest on Island Conversations soon, as will Mr. Roth, and both candidates will take part in a forum on Thursday, Oct. 1, which Ms. Bracken will moderate. Posting date:  Aug. 9, 2020
