Religion Becoming An Issue In Hawaii's Democratic Gubernatorial Primary

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS

Religion is beginning to play an important role in Hawaii's Sept. 18 gubernatorial primary election. KITV News yesterday reported on ads and flyers by a group calling itself Island Values. Supporting Democratic candidate Mufi Hannemann over his opponent in the Democratic primary, Neil Abercrombie, flyers charge Abercrombie with mocking the faith-based community. At issue is Abercrombie's support for same-sex civil unions. Gov. Linda Lingle vetoed a civil union bill this summer. (See prior posting.) An Island Values ad urges Christians who would otherwise vote in the Republican primary to instead take a Democratic ballot to vote for Hannemann. Their radio ad says: "There are acceptable and unacceptable candidates. Neil Abercrombie is unacceptable. He declares no religious affiliation." Abercrombie says he was confirmed as an Episcopalian.
