State Senate – Hawaiʻi island

Senator Lorraine Inouye has defeated Senator Laura Acasio for the Democratic party’s State Senate First District nomination. The two incumbent Hawaiʻi island state senators became opponents for the same seat due to redistricting. Senator Dru Kanuha was unopposed in his bid to return to the 3rd district senate seat; he was the only candidate of any party to run for the office. Democrats Joy San Buenaventura (District 2) and County Councilman Tim Richards (District 4) were unopposed in their bid for their party’s state senate seat nomination. Thus, three of the four state senate seats will be contested in the general election.
