Angela Aulani Kaaihue ran for election to the Hawaii House of Representatives to represent District 43. Kaaihue lost in the Nonpartisan primary on August 11, 2018.
To advance to the general election, Hawaii election law requires nonpartisan candidates in partisan races to receive at least 10% of the votes cast for the office or to receive a vote total equal to or greater than the lowest vote total of a winning partisan candidate. Kaaihue did not meet that threshold.[1][2]
Kaaihue was a 2016 Republican candidate who sought election to the U.S. House to represent the 2nd Congressional District of Hawaii.[3]
Kaaihue was also a 2016 Democratic special election candidate who sought election to the U.S. House to represent the 1st Congressional District of Hawaii.[4]
