INSIGHTS ON PBS HAWAI‘I: State House District 22 / State House District 3

In State House District 22 (Waikiki-Ala Moana-Kakaako), Democratic incumbent Rep. Tom Brower is seeking his sixth term and faces a challenge from Republican Kathryn Henski, a retired businesswoman. Brower is the lawmaker who suffered injuries in an assault last year at a Kakaako homeless camp where he was videotaping. In this district, homelessness is a top concern.

Some of the prominent issues in State House District 3 (including Hilo, Keaau, Kurtistown and Volcano on the Big Island) are the Thirty Meter Telescope controversy and GMO crops. Incumbent Democratic Rep. Richard Onishi has opposition from Green Party candidate Kealoha Pisciotta and Libertarian Gregory Arionoff. Arionoff has declined to appear on INSIGHTS because of his work schedule.
