HILO, Hawaii: In a tight race for Hawaii County Mayor, incumbent Billy Kenoi edged out his mentor and former mayor Harry Kim, remaining as the Big Island’s top executive for another four years.
The Kenoi campaign knew that defeating Kim would be no easy task, especially when they both advanced past the primary and entered into a general election run-off. The contest was a nail biter. In the final state elections print-out, Kenoi had 31,433 votes to Kim’s 29,976 … which give him 49.6% of the vote to Kim’s 47.6%
