Hawaii Legislature: GOP Loses A House Seat, Stays Even In The Senate
16
A fresh crop of younger lawmakers - all of them Democrats - won legislative seats.

Reading time: 10 minutes.
The general election Tuesday appears to have done little to change the partisan makeup of the Hawaii Legislature, as the tiny Republican minority will hold its one seat in the Senate while losing one in the House.
But the 2020 election did launch a sizable cohort of young new candidates into public office, according to the latest round of results released Wednesday morning that showed nearly 70% voter turnout.
Three of the newcomers who were elected to the House are under 30 years old, while three other incoming freshmen are under age 40. All of those younger, incoming lawmakers are Democrats.

Efforts to elect candidates this year from the newly formed Aloha Aina Party to the Legislature fizzled, and Hawaii Republicans struggled to hang on to the handful of seats they already have in contests with candidates from the dominant Democratic Party.
The GOP held its lone seat in the 25-member Senate but saw the party's ranks shrink from five lawmakers to four in the 51-member House.
The Republicans had hoped to gain ground by seizing the Leeward Oahu seat held by Democratic Rep. Stacelynn Eli, but Eli won Tuesday in a close contest with Republican Diamond Garcia to represent District 43. That district extends from Ewa Villages to Nanakuli and Maili on the Leeward Coast, and Eli had 47.7% of the vote, while Garcia had 42.7%.
On the other side, Democrat Patrick Branco won the Windward Oahu House District 50 seat that was held for decades by Republican Rep. Cynthia Thielen, who is retiring.
Branco won nearly 57.1% of the vote in early returns, while his Republican opponent Kanani Souza had 36%. That district includes much of Kailua and the Kaneohe Bay area.
In one of the closest races of the election in Mililani's District 36, Republican Rep. Val Okimoto managed to fend off a strong challenge by Democrat Trish La Chica, who ran a well-funded campaign with the backing of public worker unions and campaign contributions from a dozen House and Senate Democrats.
Hawaii Republicans including former Gov. Linda Lingle donated generously to Okimoto's re-election campaign, and that investment paid off. Okimoto had 50.2% of the vote while La Chica had 45.8%.
Rep. Sean Quinlan, meanwhile, easily deflected a challenge by GOP candidate Boyd Ready in the North Shore's District 47, which includes the area from Haleiwa to Kaaawa. Quinlan took 55.4% of the vote to 41% for Ready.
In Ewa, Democratic former state Rep. Matt LoPresti won the closest legislative race to reclaim his old District 41 seat, which he vacated in 2018 to make an unsuccessful run for the state Senate.
LoPresti had 48.3% of the vote, while his Republican opponent David "Bradda" Alcos had 46.9%, a difference of only 201 votes. That district includes Ewa Gentry, Ewa Villages and Ocean Pointe.
In another setback for the Hawaii GOP, Kukana Kama-Toth lost by a substantial margin to Democrat Lisa Marten in the Windward race to replace Democratic Rep. Chris Lee, who vacated his District 51 House seat to run for the Senate.
Marten had 52.5% of the vote to Kama-Toth's 38.9% in District 51, which includes Waimanalo and parts of Kailua.
