Mayor candidate Ikaika Marzo, a political newcomer, finished the Saturday, August 8 Mayor race as the second vote-getter, with more than 20% of the vote in a crowded 15-person race.  He and current County Prosecutor Mitch Roth, who had just over 30% of the vote, will face off in the General Election, Nov. 3, 2020.  In the all-mail race, ballots will be out in mid-October--or perhaps earlier--so everybody in Hawaii County needs to think about who they will select.  Island Conversations host Sherry Bracken spoke with Ikaika Marzo on Sunday morning, Aug. 9, to get his initial thoughts--his reaction to the election, more about him for those who don't know him,  what he wants voters to consider as they think about their choice for Mayor. He will be a guest on Island Conversations soon, as will Mr. Roth, and both candidates will take part in a forum on Thursday, Oct. 1, which Ms. Bracken will moderate. Posting date:  Aug. 9, 2020
