Mitch Roth beats Lincoln Ashida

[Rob Tucker]

I am happy to report that Mitch Roth won his race for county prosecutor over Lincoln Ashida.... it was a small margin - 127 votes.
This is good news for the county and for Puna.

I suspected that supporters of Dolan in the primary might vote blanks in the general and to a large degree that seems to have happened.

I almost did that but at the last minute decided to vote Roth.

Thanx for voting for Roth, KC. And all the other Roth voters too. This particular race's result makes it clear the "old boy Hilo" dominance is broken, finally!

This may be a better fit for her. Wishing Mr. Roth the best in his new position.
