Hawaii's congressional delegation dominates Democratic primaries

Hawaii’s congressional delegation easily won their Democratic primaries on Saturday , solidifying their positions for the November general election.

Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, and Reps. Jill Tokuda, D-Hawaii, and Ed Case, D-Hawaii, all dominated their primary races . Hirono, seeking her third term in the Senate, earned nearly 91% of the Democratic vote. Case, who represents the state's 1st Congressional District and is aiming for his sixth term in Congress, captured 92%, while Tokuda, who represents Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District, ran unopposed.

Hirono, who has been a prominent figure in the Senate since 2013, will face off against former Hawaii State Rep. Bob McDermott, a Republican, and Green Party candidate Emma Pohlman in the general election.

Tokuda, who began her congressional career in 2022 after serving in the state Senate, celebrated her primary victory with a busy day of grassroots campaigning. She will run against real-estate agent Steven Bond, a Republican, in November.

In the general election, Ed Case will face Patrick Largey, a high-rise maintenance chief from Kakaako who ran unopposed in his primary.

Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, the fourth member of Hawaii’s congressional delegation, is not up for reelection this year.
