DescriptionHonolulu Prosecutor Peter Carlisle and City Council Chairman Todd Apo are seriously looking at the possibility of running for Honolulu mayor if Mayor Mufi Hannemann steps down to run for governor.

Hannemann last week authorized the formation of a committee to explore the possibility of a gubernatorial run in 2010. Hannemann would need to resign by July 2010 to do so, leaving two years on his term and triggering a special election.

"I'm seriously considering running for the office of mayor," Carlisle told The Advertiser yesterday.

Apo said "a lot of people" from the government sector and the business community have asked him to think about a mayoral run if Hannemann steps down. "So I'm considering it."
