Former Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle was listed as a special guest speaker on the Palm Beach Synagogue’s events calendar over the weekend. 

Lingle, a Republican, is running to fill the U.S. Senate seat that Sen. Daniel Akaka is leaving when he retires in 2012. 

Palm Beach is home to some of the nation’s most generous political donors. Palm Beach’s 33480 zip code ranked No. 8 on a top 10 list of the most campaign contributions in 2010, according to the Palm Beach Daily News. 

More Republicans donated to campaigns than Democrats in Palm Beach that year, the newspaper reported.  

Lingle’s apparent stop in Florida came on the heels of an appearance in New Orleans, where Lingle was set to attend a Bipartisan Policy Center summit about partisanship.
