2026 Kauaʻi Mayor Candidate Interviews | Hōʻike Community Media

As part of Hōʻike Community Media's commitment to community engagement and public access, we are providing voters with an opportunity to hear directly from the candidates running for Mayor of the County of Kauaʻi.

This episode contains the complete 2026 Kauaʻi Mayor Candidate Interview Series. Each participating candidate was offered the opportunity to participate in a one-hour recorded interview and was asked the same ten core questions using the same interview format.

Use the chapter markers in your podcast app or media player to jump directly to the interview you'd like to hear.

If the scheduled one-hour interview time was reached while a candidate was responding, they were permitted to complete their sentence before the interview concluded.

We encourage listeners to hear from each candidate before casting their vote.
