Republican candidate Duke Aiona spent the day meeting with voters in a quiet and intimate setting.
The candidate for governor along with his running mate visited local businesses and spoke with workers.
"I positive I am confident that we are going to win," said Aiona.
James Duke Aiona says his experience as an attorney, city prosecutor, state judge and Lieutenant Governor make him the best candidate for the state's top job.
"I know this is kind of like the final argument and then we in instruct the jury and then we instruct them to deliberate and they deliberate and now we wait for the verdict," said Aiona.
Aiona was born and raised in Hawaii and is a graduate of Saint Louis High School who later earned his law degree at U.H. He served as city prosecutor and was later appointed as Family Court Judge in 1990.
In 2002 Aiona was elected as Lieutenant Governor, he says this campaign is similar to that race.
"I think what makes it different is the technology technology is a lot different today than it was eight years ago," said Aiona.
Aiona and his running mate Lynn Finnegan, former house minority leader, have spent countless hours pounding the pavement, meeting face to face with voters getting their messages about jobs, education and the economy across.
"You know the commercials are one thing but when you get to feel and see our heart and see who we are and just listen to us speak in an unfiltered environment," said Aiona.
"Its all in for us I don't think we are looking for any other options right now and the people of Hawaii are what's important," said Lynn Finnegan, Republican candidate for lieutenant governor.
The pair have closed their media campaign with a new television ad aimed at responding to negative advertisements from democrats.
"This campaign this election is really going to turn upon I believe character and personality and leadership," said Aiona. "Thats how campaigns go and thats all I can say."
Aiona-Finnegan say they will tackle the weakened economy and joblessness by catering to Hawaii's small businesses, and a comprehensive audit of the Department of Education along with restructuring will help Hawaii's keiki get a better education.
"We feel that we have made a difference in some of the minds," said Aiona.
