Should we question this candidate’s campaigning tactics and record a little more?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Josh Green has been in the State Legislature for 18 years. He is currently compensated for approximately $165,552 as the Lieutenant Governor of Hawaii<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today in his campaign facebook page, he is also celebrating <\/a>his career as a doctor for the past 25 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lt. Governor Green in his medical uniform thanking the public for the love. It’s interesting to note that he talks like he’s already cinched the position of Governorship in Hawaii. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What is this candidate?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lt. Governor Green or Dr. Green? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does one clock time on the job for Lt. Governor? Is he doing $165,552 worth of labor for the taxpayers? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much time is allocated for his medical profession? How much time for his political campaign? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s interesting to note this candidate has mostly highlighted his medical career more than his public office during this campaign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Green appear to wear his medical scrubs wherever he goes. It’s certainly part of his “branding”. He’s dressed in his branding scrubs at sign-waving, meet and greet, on the beach, at the taro patch, the bakery, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Doctor Brand<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is certainly the persuasive ploy to take – to dress as a Doctor and to relentlessly push the phrase “Trusted, Caring Leadership”<\/em> as his campaign slogan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most public sentiments towards a doctor are naturally positive. Someone is in need of care and the doctor is there to make us feel better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A doctor becomes someone we can trust to take good care of us. It’s just like the image of a “fireman”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fireman comes to the rescue or to put out our house fire. It’s unlike the policeman who has to maintain law and order. A policeman is capable of making a bad person be accountable and be punished. The policeman breaks up fights and may have to shoot a criminal. They’re involved in giving speeding and DUI citations. We don’t like that or run away from the policeman if we’re guilty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, there are systemic stereotypes in our society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you imagine a gubernatorial candidate dressed in a policeman outfit as his campaign garb?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you imagine gubernatorial candidate dressed in a clown costume?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This leads to a few fundamental questions in this gubernatorial campaign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are we electing a Doctor for the office of the Governor?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should the public study Dr. Green’s legislative record these past 18 years?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should the public study Dr. Green’s phenomenal fundraising amounts from special interest groups here and from the mainland?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
