Linda Lingle, Hawaii Senatorial candidate and former governor, is turning to financial services firm John Hancock for more than just investment advice.

The Republican’s new campaign spot pays homage to a John Hancock ad from a couple of years back.

The similarities didn’t go unnoticed by the campaign of her Democratic opponent, Rep. Mazie Hirono.

At least one person in the Hirono camp Sunday sent out an email laughing at the former governor and calling her “unoriginal.”
