夏威夷选民将于周六决定谁将晋级11月的大选,其中关键竞选包括州长选举以及代表该州第一国会选区的角逐。

2022年首次当选州长的乔希·格林在民主党初选中被普遍看好获胜,他面临三位鲜为人知的对手。他的挑战者包括民主社会主义者乔治·“泰瓦”·卢卡斯-塔德奥,此人曾在社交媒体上承诺开设政府运营的杂货店,并将娱乐用大麻合法化。

戴维·“杜克”·布尔甘继2022年败给格林后,再次发起初选挑战。2022年他仅获得590票,而格林则拿下158161票。他还曾在2022年和2024年两次参选火奴鲁鲁市长均告失利。

劳伦·卡波利亚希伊阿卡·希姆也在争夺民主党提名。根据她的领英资料,她是Aloha AI公司的首席执行官兼创始人。

据火奴鲁鲁《民权报》报道,卢卡斯-塔德奥和希姆都没有竞选网站,截至6月30日,格林的三位挑战者均未在本次竞选中募集到任何资金。与此同时,格林已募集约350万美元,远超共和党候选人加里·科德里——本次竞选中筹款第二多的候选人,科德里募集到约31.3万美元。

科德里是建筑公司Kingdom Builders的老板,而肯·藤山是一位企业家兼投资者,两人正在竞争共和党提名,以期终结民主党对州长职位近二十年的掌控。上一位担任夏威夷州长的共和党人是琳达·林格尔,她在2002年至2010年期间任职。

科德里的竞选纲领包括降低夏威夷高昂的生活成本、扩大住房供应以及打击政府浪费和腐败。他提议为工薪家庭新增1.5万套住房,利用州有土地建设住房,并取消州政府对食品和药品征收的一般消费税。藤山也提出了一项应对住房负担能力危机的计划,拟开发10万个住宅地块,并与大型土地所有者合作推动开发。

无论共和党初选中谁胜出,如果格林拿下民主党提名,该候选人都将面临艰难的卸任挑战。格林的支持率为56%,而《库克政治报告》将这场竞选评为“大概率民主党获胜”,并给予民主党13个百分点的优势。

与此同时,夏威夷州外的目光将聚焦于第一国会选区的民主党初选,州参议员贾勒特·凯奥科卡洛正在挑战众议员埃德·凯斯(D-夏威夷)。

凯斯正在寻求第七个任期,自2019年以来一直代表该选区,他辩称自己的资历以及在拨款委员会的职位让夏威夷在华盛顿拥有更大的影响力。与此同时,获得参议员伯尼·桑德斯的组织“我们的革命”背书的凯奥科卡洛则以包括“全民医保”、反对移民海关执法局以及反对唐纳德·特朗普总统关税的进步派纲领参选。

凯奥科卡洛试图将凯斯描绘成脱离民主党选民的人,他指出这位众议员曾与众议院共和党人投票支持特朗普的《拯救美国法案》,该法案要求选民在登记投票时出示公民身份证明。

鉴于该选区强烈的民主党倾向,赢得党内初选的人很可能会在11月的选举中胜出拿下该席位。

投票于当地时间晚上7点结束。

Hawaii voters will decide Saturday who advances to the November general election, with key contests including the race for governor and the battle to represent the state’s 1st Congressional District.

Gov. Josh Green, who was first elected in 2022, is heavily favored to win the Democratic primary, where he faces three little-known competitors. His challengers include George “Teva” Lucas-Tadeo, a Democratic socialist who has promised on social media to open a government-run grocery store and legalize recreational marijuana.

David “Duke” Bourgoin is mounting his second primary challenge against Green after losing to him in 2022, when he captured only 590 votes against Green’s 158,161. He also lost two bids for Honolulu mayor, in 2022 and 2024.

Lauren Kapoliahiʻiaka Shim is also seeking the Democratic nomination. She is the CEO and founder of Aloha AI Incorporated, according to her LinkedIn profile.

Neither Lucas-Tadeo nor Shim had campaign websites, and none of Green’s three challengers had raised any money in the race as of June 30, according to Honolulu Civil Beat. Meanwhile, Green has raised approximately $3.5 million, far outpacing Republican Gary Cordery, the race’s second-highest fundraiser, who has raised about $313,000, according to Honolulu Civil Beat.

Cordery, owner of the contracting company Kingdom Builders, and Ken Fujiyama, an entrepreneur and investor, are competing for the Republican nomination and a chance to end nearly two decades of Democratic control of the governor’s mansion. The last Republican to serve as Hawaii governor was Linda Lingle, who held the office from 2002 to 2010.

Cordery has campaigned on lowering Hawaii’s high cost of living, expanding housing and cracking down on government waste and corruption. He has proposed adding 15,000 homes for working families, using state-owned land for housing and eliminating the state’s general excise tax on food and medicine. Fujiyama has also proposed a plan to tackle the housing affordability crisis by developing 100,000 residential lots and partnering with large landowners to spur growth.

Whoever emerges from the Republican primary will face an uphill battle to unseat Green if he secures the Democratic nomination. Green holds a 56% approval rating, while the Cook Political Report rates the race “Likely Democrat” and gives Democrats a 13-point advantage.

Meanwhile, eyes outside of Hawaii will be locked on the Democratic primary in the 1st Congressional District, where state Sen. Jarrett Keohokalole is challenging Rep. Ed Case, D-Hawaii.

Case, who is seeking a seventh term, has represented the district since 2019 and argues that his seniority and position on the Appropriations Committee give Hawaii greater influence in Washington. Meanwhile, Keohokalole, who is endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders’ group Our Revolution, is running on a progressive platform that includes Medicare for All and opposition to ICE and President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Keohokalole is seeking to portray Case as out of touch with Democratic voters, pointing to the congressman’s vote with House Republicans to pass Trump’s SAVE America Act, which would require voters to show proof of citizenship when registering to vote.

Given the district’s strong Democratic lean, whoever wins the party’s primary will likely be favored to win the seat in November.

Polls close at 7pm local time.
