Adriel C Lam in the 2026 Hawaii U.S. House race

Eight candidates are listed in the contested 2026 general election for Hawaii’s 1st Congressional District. The field includes five candidates with Democratic or Republican labels, one candidate listed as NON, one listed with no party affiliation and Democratic incumbent Edward Case.

The general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026. The records currently identify each candidate’s name and party designation, but they do not establish where any candidate stands on policy issues.

The candidate field

Each of the eight candidates has the same categories of public information on file: a name and party designation, but no biography, campaign finance figures or documented policy positions.

• Nathan M. Berning — NON. No biography or documented policy positions are on file. Funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are also listed as not on file.

• Benjamin David Fatula — Democrat. No biography or documented policy positions are on file. Funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are also listed as not on file.

• Maxwell Frazier — Republican. No biography or documented policy positions are on file. Funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are also listed as not on file.

• Jarrett Keohokalole — Democrat. No biography or documented policy positions are on file. Funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are also listed as not on file.

• Della AU Belatti — Democrat. No biography or documented policy positions are on file. Funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are also listed as not on file.

• Edward Case — Democrat and incumbent. No biography or documented policy positions are on file. Funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are also listed as not on file.

• Sholom Gelt — No party affiliation. No biography or documented policy positions are on file. Funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are also listed as not on file.

• Adriel C Lam — Republican. No biography or documented policy positions are on file. Funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are also listed as not on file.

Where the candidates stand

No documented policy positions are on file for any candidate in the HI-1 contest. That means the official entries do not establish positions on federal spending, taxes, public programs or any other issue that may arise during the campaign.

Party designations identify how the candidates are listed in the race, but those labels are not substitutes for candidate-specific positions. No policy view should be attributed to a candidate unless that candidate has placed the position on the public record.

Campaign finance and background records

Funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are listed as not on file for every candidate. Those entries do not state that a campaign raised or spent zero dollars; they mean there is no figure on file in the listed category.

Biographies are likewise not on file for any of the eight candidates. The race records therefore do not establish details such as work history, education, previous elected service or community roles. Case is the only candidate identified as an incumbent.

Election timeline

All eight candidates are listed for the same contested U.S. House race in Hawaii’s 1st Congressional District. The next stated milestone is the general election on Nov. 3, 2026.

As the election approaches, official records may be updated with candidate information, campaign finance figures and documented issue positions. Those updates would allow voters to compare the candidates beyond their names, party designations and Case’s incumbent status.
