Who’s who on the 2020 Maui County ballot

Since Maui County Council members serve two-year terms, all nine seats are up for election in 2020. The Lanai seat is the only race without an incumbent, as Councilman Riki Hokama has hit his term limit. (Although Council members are elected by in a nonpartisan countywide vote, each seat is assigned to a designated district and there are candidate residency requirements.) In the state Legislature, all House seats are up for the election, but only the District 5 Senate seat now held by Democrat Gil S. Keith-Agaran is on the ballot this year. Candidates have until Tuesday to file nomination papers for office. (* incumbent)
