In nonpartisan Honolulu City Council District 7 (a sprawling and diverse area of Honolulu with Kalihi at its core), Councilmember Joey Manahan is seeking a second four-year term. His opponent, former state legislative aide Chace Shigemasa, has never held public office and strongly believes incumbents need to be challenged.

Then, in State House District 20 (Palolo, Wai‘alae, St. Louis), a longtime incumbent State Representative, former House Speaker Calvin Say (D), is facing his seventh challenge from Republican Julia Allen. She says that with “government literally running off the tracks,” it’s an especially important election, with Republicans very much needed in public office.
