Hawaii Election Results

Bissen won reelection as Maui mayor, defeating Yuki Lei Sugimura. Josh Green also won another term as governor, with Derek Kawakami as lieutenant governor. Ed Case and Jill Tokuda retained their congressional seats, and Mel Rapozo won Kauaʻi’s mayoral race.

On Maui, Kelly King narrowly led Tom Cook for South Maui’s council seat, while Sne Patel led the West Maui state House race. Those results were still preliminary.

Here are Maui’s winners and current leaders, based on the latest preliminary results—not yet certified.
