What Are the Hot Political Races this Election Cycle?

By /
Tune in to Insights on PBS Hawaii tonight (Thursday) at 8 p.m. for a discussion about the “races to watch” this upcoming election. 

Guests include Republican Chairwoman Pat Saiki, Democratic Chairman Dante Carpenter, University of Hawaii political scientist, Colin Moore, and Civil Beat’s chief political reporter Chad Blair. 

From PBS Hawaii: 

The political season will soon be upon us and Hawaii voters will be casting ballots in the August primary for several key races: gubernatorial, congressional, senatorial, local legislative races, as well as neighbor island Mayoral races. What issues will galvanize voters and get them to the polls? What seats are open and which incumbents face tough challenges? 

On the next INSIGHTS on PBS Hawaii, “What are the races to watch in the upcoming election?” Daryl Huff will moderate this discussion.

Keep us brave and independent

The stories that Civil Beat dares to write take time, resources and sometimes, a healthy dose of bravery. But weʻre not afraid because our responsibility is to bring issues to you.

Your support ensures that we can remain independent and uncover the stories that, as one reader recently said, “would remain hidden otherwise.” Because if we don’t do it, who will?
