Security, Working Families And Infrastructure: State House District 32 Candidate Q&As
The same opponents face each other for the third general election in a row.
Incumbent Republican Garner Shimizu is running again for the House seat he has held since 2024 and he is facing the candidate he defeated in that election.
State House District 32 includes Fort Shafter, Moanalua, Āliamanu, Foster Village, and portions of ʻAiea and Hālawa.
His opponent in the Nov. 3 general election is Democratic candidate Micah Aiu, who previously represented the district between 2022 and 2024. Neither Shimizu nor Aiu has a primary opponent.
Both candidates were sent questions by Civil Beat asking them to outline their views on a range of topics including whether there should be limits on the number of bills introduced during session, how they would support public education and how they would address affordability issues facing their constituents.
Their responses are linked in alphabetical order under their official ballot name which you can also compare all in one spot on Civil Beat’s 2026 Hawaiʻi Primary Ballot.
