Marleen Hapai would be interesting, she has been fighting the good fight trying to support Hawaii having any semblance of a 2 party system for a long time. Her family goes way back in Hawaii politics, and she would know which doors to knock on in Honolulu when advocating for Hawaii County, in spite of being a Republican those doors would open for her. She is intelligent, educated and community minded with deep roots here and I've never heard even a whisper of scandal, corruption, or even back room dealing related to her, which is rare in Hawaii politics, although that may be because she hasn't ever had any power or influence to sell.
