Hawaii Primary: Tight Races and Low Turnout | Honolulu News
Description
Hawaii’s primary election delivered nail-biters and quiet wins: two legislative races are headed for mandatory recounts after razor-thin margins, while voter turnout dipped to just 33%—raising alarms about civic engagement. Mayor Richard Bissen secured his general election spot on Maui, honoring Lahaina’s resilience three years after the wildfires, as challenger Yuki Lei Sugimura also advanced. Trevor Ozawa moves forward in Honolulu City Council District 4, and incumbent Rep. Ed Case survived his primary—but longtime Sen. Les Ihara Jr. didn’t. Governor Josh Green and Lt. Gov. Derek Kawakami advance on the Democratic ticket, with Republicans Gary Cordery and Daniel Anthony also through. Twenty-four candidates won outright, highlighting a wave of unopposed victories across the islands.
