2026 Hawaii gubernatorial election
The 2026 Hawaii gubernatorial election will choose the next governor of Hawaii, a statewide executive office. Incumbent Democratic Gov. Josh Green is eligible to seek a second term, and the race is currently viewed as strongly favorable to Democrats in a state that has voted reliably blue in recent statewide elections. The main contrast is likely to be between Green’s record on housing, affordability, health care, and wildfire recovery and any Republican challenger’s critique of cost of living, government performance, and economic conditions.
