Jean King

[3] King participated in various after-school activities while attending the Sacred Hearts Academy and was involved in Japanese dancing, tap, hula, and typing and shorthand lessons.She felt that the philosophy of the Democratic Party would be of more interest in Hawaii's population of diverse ethnic backgrounds.[4] In 1978, King pursued the position of Lieutenant Governor of Hawai'i [2] after Nelson Doi left the office to run for Mayor of Honolulu.[8] With the effort and strides that King made, she had been an influence for more women to run for political positions in Hawaii.[9] In March 2016, Hawaiʻi Magazine ranked King in a list of the most influential women in Hawaiian history.
