2022 Elections: There’s A Bumper Crop Of Republicans This Year 0 The Hawaii GOP has fielded more than 70 candidates for office this year, more than double the last election.
Janie Gueso, the Republican nominee for Ewa Beach’s House District 40, doesn’t consider herself to be a politician.
“I’m a people-tician,” she says.
Sitting outside Silva’s Grocery & Liquor, Gueso explained that the difference between the two is that she’s “thinking about people more than just straight politics.”
It’s her first time running for public office, making her one of 72 first-time candidates to file as a Republican this election cycle.
