From PBS Hawaii:

With the historic victory of Senator David Ige in the Democratic gubernatorial Primary race, and the contest for Hawaii’s First Congressional District seat now a two-man race between Democratic State Representative Mark Takai and Republican Charles Djou, Hawaii’s voters can now look forward to the General Election.

As yet unsettled is the Democratic Primary contest for U.S. Senate, with incumbent Brian Schatz and Congresswoman Colleen Hanabusa awaiting the results from the hurricane ravaged district of Puna on the Big Island.

Will this give Republican candidate Cam Cavasso a head start in the race to Washington?

On INSIGHTS, local political pundits will look back at the Primary season, look forward to the General Election, and discuss the races from Washington to Lihue.

Host Daryl Huff will be joined by Civil Beat political reporter Chad Blair, Hawaii Pacific University’s John Hart and University of Hawaii Assistant Professor of Political Science Colin Moore.

Note: Former Gov. John Waihee was the star of the show. Look and see why.
