2026 RPAC Primary Election Candidate Endorsements

The Hawai‘i REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) is proud to endorse the following candidates in the 2026 primary election. Some Senate races are not up for re-election due to a four-year staggered term and those races are not included in the list.

Endorsement means that RPAC has decided to support these candidates for elected office. We would like to congratulate these candidates and are confident that their leadership will contribute to the important issues facing the state to promote a brighter future for all in addressing all types of housing for all needs.

Hawai‘i RPAC Trustees completed over 75 interviews with candidates for State races to make decisions on endorsements and/or financial support for the primary election. In these interviews, the Trustees looked at electability, track record, openness to collaborating with us, leadership, philosophy on home and property ownership, and political influence. As a reminder, RPAC funds do not come from membership dues.

Who are the RPAC Trustees?

Hawai‘i RPAC Trustees are comprised of representatives from each local board. The Trustees are responsible for making decisions on the disbursement of RPAC funds.
