Primary Voting Schedule
Our recommended candidates are in italics with larger print.
We found information on candidates records and positions on the League of Women Voters (http://www.vote411.org/ballot), Votesmart (https://votesmart.org/), and also in articles profiling individual candidates in Civil Beat and The Garden Island.
On the primary ballot there are two sections: on one you choose a party and vote only for those candidates; the other section is non-partisan--everyone votes for the County Contests and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. We are choosing from the Democratic candidates on the party affiliated section.
Democratic Party
US Senator:
* Hirono, Mazie
US Representative, District II (Kauai)
* Gabbard, Tulsi
Governor:
* Ige, David Y.
Lieutenant Governor:
* Iwamoto, Kim Coco
District 14:
Nadine Nakamura is running unopposed for the Democratic nomination. We do not endorse her.
District 15:
Elaine Daladig is running against incumbent James Tokioka for the Democratic nomination. We do not endorse either candidate.
District 16:
* Morikawa, Daynette (Dee)
Non-Partisan
Everyone, no matter which party affiliation, can vote for Kauai Mayor and County Council and OHA (Office of Hawaiian affairs) trustees.
Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA): Oahu Resident Trustee
* Kia'aina, Esther
Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA): At-Large Trustee:
(vote for three)
* Aila, William J., Jr.
* Paikai, Landen D.K.K.
* Paris, Makana
Mayor:
* Yukimura, JoAnn A.
Kauai County Council:
Special Note: Island Breath is recommending voting for no more than the three candidates noted below, even though you are allowed to vote for seven. If you vote for seven, but really support just three candidates, your #4, 5, 6 and 7 votes could enable those other candidates to win over your top candidates. Consider voting for fewer--a practice called "plunking".
* Chock, Mason
* Cowden, Felicia
* Roversi, Adam P.
