Former Maui Mayor Linda Lingle,who had narrowly lost the 1998 election,was nominated once again by the Republicans while Lieutenant Governor Mazie Hirono earned the Democratic nomination in a tight race. Lingle and Hirono duked it out in a hard-fought campaign,with Hirono's campaign crippled by allegations of corruption within the Hawaii Democratic Party and many voters desiring a change. The influence of migrants from the mainland as well as the decease in party loyalty of ethnic groups led more voters towards Lingle.

She was the first white person to be elected governor of the state since 1970. Lingle and Hirono faced off again in Hawaii's 2012 U.S. Senate election;Hirono won that race and thus became the first female U.S. senator in Hawaii history.
