When I served the papers at the Attorney General’s office (via 3rd party personal service), I did “Meet and Confer” with my opponent lawyer, Ms. Valeri Kunimoto (of the Attorney General’s office).

I stated to her, for judicial economy, it is better for Attorney General to advise Ms. Hanabusa to withdraw her candidacy for governor. Or, she should be disqualified by Attorney General.

One good reason, we don’t want to have another election because of this case.

Aloha.
