Gov. Josh Green says if he has to pick a new state senator for District 22 before the Aug. 10 primary it will be Cross Makani Crabbe.
Green told reporters at a press conference Wednesday that he is waiting on the state attorney general to tell him whether he has to fill the seat within 60 days after the seat becomes open or can wait until after the primary and let the voters decide which Democrat they want.Crabbe, Cedric Gates and Stacelynn Eli were selected by area Democrats to be on the short list given to Green for his consideration.on Tuesday.
Eli and Gates are competing for the Senate seat in the Democratic primary and Green has said he doesn’t want to give either of them an advantage by putting one of them in office just 11 days before the primary. Asked if picking Crabbe would tip the scale in his favor for the House seat, Green acknowledged that it was a unique situation driven by “internal politics.” He did not elaborate but appeared to be referring tobetween him and the Senate and the fact that Kouchi needs the support of 13 senators to lead the 25-member chamber.
