VIDEO: Billy Kenoi wins, will be next Big Island mayor
November 4, 2008 - Hilo, Hawaii

Billy Kenoi has been declared the winner in the race for Hawaii County's mayor seat
.

Kenoi defeated opponent Angel Pilago by a healthy margin. The final numbers, released by the state of Hawaii at 9:23 pm, had Kenoi winning with 36,671 votes (55.6%) to Pilago's 26,962 (40.9%)

At age 39, Kenoi becomes one of the youngest mayors in the Big Island's history. He was the former executive assistant to outgoing mayor Harry Kim. In September's primary election, he was the highest vote getter amongst the 8 mayoral candidates.

Kenoi arrived at his Hilo headquarters just as the news of his victory was being announced to the fervent crowd of supporters. In his post victory speech, Kenoi remained humble, thanked Pilago, and promised that more hard work is ahead.
