    EXCLUSIVE: Former Gov. Linda Lingle talks new job, Hawaii politics and Kolten Wong

    By Jim Mendoza

    HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) -In June, former Governor Linda Lingle begins her new job as COO for Illinois. She'll be in charge of all government departments in the Prairie state.

    "This offer just came out of the blue and it's such a challenge," she said. "I was attracted to the governor (Bruce Rauner), his vision for the state, his commitment to turn things around for Illinois."

Speech Topics

Immigration

A critical issue facing our Nation is immigration. Gov. Lingle, as former Governor of Hawaii, became intricately involved with immigration policy. She discusses with audiences the importance of developing a comprehensive legal immigration policy and what such a policy would mean for the economy. She also discusses the need to revamp America’s policies regarding tourist and student visas.


Turning Challenges Into Strengths

Challenges can bring you down in life, or lift you up. Which direction you move is up to you. Gov. Lingle overcame a challenging childhood as her mother struggled with bipolar disorder at a time when there was little knowledge of the disease, but she turned her challenges into strengths by becoming the first woman Governor of Hawaii and the only Mayor of Maui not born on the island. Everyone faces challenges in life, and Gov. Lingle will share strategies for how to turn challenges into strengths.


Women and Politics – A Match Made In Heaven

There would be many more women in public office if they only knew how well suited they are for politics. Hawaii’s only woman governor since statehood explains her thoughts on why politics is such a great profession for women. She shares her personal story that answers the question, How did a Jewish ‘girl’ from Missouri become the Governor of Hawaii? Through her personal story of a fledgling journalist being elected councilwoman from the Island of Molokai, the first woman mayor of Maui, and Governor of Hawaii, it becomes clear that women and politics are a natural combination.


American Education Needs To Reboot

Today’s schools are doing too much indoctrinating and not enough educating. Teachers’ historical role of providing information has been usurped to a large degree by students’ access to the Internet. This changing role means teachers today are spending more time teaching a belief system than how to synthesize unlimited information, how to analytically approach an issue and how to question common wisdom. All of society is harmed when students are taught what to think instead of how to think critically. Parents need to make sure it is their values their children are growing up with, not their teachers’ values.


Achieving Energy Security for America

As a member of the United States Energy Security Council, Governor Lingle is committed to a fresh approach to solving America’s oil predicament.She discusses how opening the fuel market to competition by making sure new vehicles sold in the U.S. are flex fuel, so that non-petroleum fuels can compete against oil in a free market, is the only way to destroy the OPEC oil cartel’s stranglehold on the world. She also explains the positive impacts of fuel choice and competition on national security and the economy, and why reducing oil demand through fuel economy alone without creating competitive markets will fail to diminish OPEC’s power.
