Roth names Cabinet members
Hawaii County Mayor-elect Mitch Roth announced key members of his Cabinet on Wednesday as he prepares to take office Dec. 7.
Roth is tapping Lee Lord of Volcano, longtime business manager at the Prosecutor’s Office, as his managing director and second-in-command. Lord will oversee the county’s day-to-day operations and take on other jobs as needed, including serving as acting mayor in Roth’s absence.
“I’m elated with the team that we’ve selected,” Roth said. “My team and I talked to so many incredibly qualified applicants, but these are the best and the brightest, and we’ll be well prepared to take on the difficult challenges that lie ahead.”
