I am happy to announce that I authorized my campaign team, Friends of Jon Riki Karamatsu to form an exploratory committee for the office of Lieutenant Governor for the 2010 election.
I am honored that my name has been mentioned in the community as a potential Lieutenant Governor candidate for the last several months. With the support of my family, friends, and many in the community, I am excited to explore the possibility of serving this great state from its second highest office. I am determined to ensure that Hawaii is the best place in the world.
