Join us at three pop-up newsrooms this week aimed at getting you more insight and information about candidates running for office in Kalihi, West Oahu and Kailua.

.On Tuesday, we’ll be talking with the candidates for House District 29 and House District 30. These seats generally cover Kalihi and we’ll be meeting the candidates at Honolulu Community College, 874 Dillingham Boulevard. We’ll be in BLD04-005 Performance Classroom.

From 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., we host a conversation with Democrat Ikaika Hussey and Republican Carole Kaapu, who are competing for the District 29 seat that was held for many years by John Mizuno. He gave up the seat to become Gov. Josh Green’s homeless coordinator, and his wife, May Mizuno was appointed to the seat. She lost the Aug. 29 primary to Hussey.

From 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. we’ll talk with P.M. Azinga, the Republican candidate for House District 30. The Democrat in the race, Shirley Templo, has not responded to our invitation to participate. She prevailed over Rep. Sonny Ganaden in the primary.

On Wednesday, join us at the Waianae High School cafeteria for a discussion with the Democratic candidate for Senate District 22. That would be Cedric Gates, currently a member of the state House from the area who is hoping to move over to the Senate. The Republican in the race, Samantha DeCorte who chairs the Waianae Neighborhood Board, has declined to participate in the pop-up.

That event begins at 6:30 p.m. and is scheduled to go until 8 p.m.

And on Friday, we’ll host a talk with Timothy Connelly, the Republican candidate for House District 50 in Kailua. The Democrat in the race, Mike Lee, couldn’t make this one due to a prior commitment.

The event will be at the Kailua High School library, 451 Ulumanu Dr., from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.

These election pop-up newsrooms are designed to be a chance for the candidates to explain their positions on issues that the public wants to know about. Civil Beat journalists field questions from the audience and have a few things of their own to ask. They are not political rallies.

We’ll have light snacks and beverages available as usual. For more details, check out the schedule here.
