Greggor as to why he felt it unnecessary to attend, or even have his office send a rep to attend all the other numerous town halls that were being held with the combined candidates
I can only guess, but as the incumbent he may have assumed he had nothing to gain from attending those meetings. Incumbents almost always win in Hawaii politics. Not saying that’s the best look for someone running for public office, but the reality is what it is. Name recognition, or the “hey I know that guy” or “I’ve heard of that guy” probably gets more people elected than “what did/will that person do?”
