Kauaʻi Election Coverage

2026 Mayoral Candidate Interviews

As part of Hōʻike Community Media's commitment to community engagement and public access, each candidate for Mayor of the County of Kauaʻi was offered the opportunity to participate in a one-hour recorded interview. Every participating candidate was asked the same ten core questions using the same interview format.

Hōʻike Community Media provides the same interview opportunity and format to every participating candidate. The inclusion of an interview does not constitute an endorsement.
