Native Hawaiian candidate advances to November in congressional race
One of the two Native Hawaiian candidates running for Congress continues to the general election.
Native Hawaiian candidate Brenton Awa won the Republican ticket uncontested for U.S. House in District 2 in the state’s Aug. 8 primary election.
He will face Democrat Jill Tokuda in the general election on Nov. 3.
If Awa is successful in the general election, he could be the third Native Hawaiian in Congress since statehood.
