New Incumbent Match-Ups Under Newest Redistricting Maps

By /
The latest revised maps being considered by the state Reapportionment Commission would still pit seven pairs of incumbent lawmakers against one another for re-election. But, some of the names have changed as district lines have shifted. Again.

The match-ups under the Oahu House map presented Tuesday are:

  • Mark Hashem / Barbara Marumoto in Kahala

  • Scott Saiki / Scott Nishimoto in Kaimuki 

  • Kymberly Pine / Rida Cabanilla in Ewa

  • Mark Takai / Heather Giugni in Pearl City

  • Pono Chong / Jessica Wooley in Kaneohe

  • Jerry Chang / Mark Nishimoto in South Hilo

And in the Senate:

  • Carol Fukunaga / Brian Taniguchi in Makiki

The full commission is scheduled to vote on the maps Thursday.
