White man chosen by Hawaii governor won't get judge job JENNIFER SINCO KELLEHER, Associated Press July 29, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail HONOLULU (AP) — A white man chosen by Hawaii's governor to be an appeals court judge said he wanted to withdraw his name from the confirmation process Thursday after complaints that someone with a different racial background or gender should be selected instead. Critics have questioned Democratic Gov. David Ige's choice of Daniel Gluck, the executive director of the Hawaii Ethics Commission, noting it's been 30 years since a Native Hawaiian was appointed to the Intermediate Court of Appeals and 20 years since a Native Hawaiian was appointed to the state Supreme Court.
