Sonono, who has long been known for his fragmentation and his confidence in the campaign's path, highlighted, “I know how to run. I know how to win … I think we have a great record here. I just know my voter, and they know me. Win.”
In his previous criticism of how the Senate works, Sonono indicated that “there is something that definitely changed when I really didn't want to do this in 22 to today.
