The grassroots hui Kanu Hawaii is promoting its 2016 Candidate Game to “reveal how the view of the voter compares to that of local candidates’ stands on important issues identified by constituents.”

A press release explains, “In an election year, where endless antics in the presidential race may have at times detracted from the real issues, the Candidate Game allows a fun, easy and fast way to focus on Hawaii races and learn about where local candidates stand on the issues that matter to voters.”

Kanu surveyed every candidate representing the state and recorded their responses.

During the game, players — without knowing the candidates’ looks, name or party — choose which response they like best.

Players are then shown which candidate they agreed with the most, with answers and contact information for each candidate provided.

Will you be more long Brian Schatz or John Carroll? Tulsi Gabbard or Angela Kaaihue? Colleen Hanabusa or … Angela Kaaihue? Find out now!

Nonprofit, nonpartisan Kanu Hawaii’s mission is to make the state “more compassionate, sustainable and self-reliant starting with personal commitments to change.”

The Candidate Game is supported by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.
