If you are interested in running for election to public office in Hawaiʻi (or anywhere really), below is information intended to help guide you through the process. The information is based on my experience running myself in 10 elections – winning 6 and losing 4 AND based on many, many conversations with other candidates. Note: This is a work in progress which I will continue adding to…through at least until the actual elections of 2024. Each piece is about 700 words…so not long reads. My intent is to continue updating this including additional info on different related topics…until the end of the 2024 elections.
