Declared candidates. Incumbent Josh Green (D) is running for re-election to a second term and is the heavy favorite/presumptive nominee (rated Safe/Solid D); he faces only minor Democratic primary opposition. The Aug 8 primary has not occurred. Republicans are not seriously contesting; Gary Cordery and Ken Fujiyama are minor GOP candidates with no clear frontrunner. The field and its fundraising will keep updating as primaries settle and new FEC reports land.
The rating is grounded in this seat’s record on Akashic — its partisan lean, same-office history, and demographics. Read the full profile on the HI state page.
