Julie Reyes Oda is the Republican incumbent in the 2026 race for Hawaii State House District 40. Oda is the only candidate listed in the race, which is classified as uncontested.
The general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026. No candidate biography, campaign finance figures or documented policy positions are on file for Oda.
Candidate and race overview
Oda is running as a Republican and holds the seat now. Incumbent status means Oda currently serves as the district’s state representative while seeking election to continue in the office.
The District 40 contest is not listed as a competitive race between two or more candidates. Oda is the sole candidate identified for the seat. That makes this race different from contests in which voters compare candidates from multiple parties or candidates with no party affiliation.
Oda’s party listing identifies the candidate’s affiliation. It does not, by itself, establish a position on any bill, public program or issue facing the district or the state.
Background
No candidate biography is on file for Oda. The official candidate information therefore does not list details such as education, employment history, community service or previous offices beyond Oda’s status as the incumbent.
The confirmed background facts in this race are limited: Oda is the current officeholder, is affiliated with the Republican Party and is a candidate for Hawaii State House District 40 in the 2026 general election.
A candidate biography can help voters understand a person’s experience before entering office and work outside government. In this contest, those biographical details are not part of the filed candidate profile.
Policy positions
No documented policy positions are on file for Oda. There is no filed position to summarize on taxes, housing, education, public safety, health care, transportation or other state issues.
Party affiliation should not be treated as a substitute for a candidate’s own stated views. Without a documented statement from Oda, no specific policy stance can be assigned to the candidate. Voters looking for issue positions will need to watch for future candidate statements or other official campaign materials before the general election.
Campaign finance and election status
Funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are not on file for Oda. Those categories describe different parts of campaign finance: money received, money used and money remaining. A figure that is not on file should not be read as a reported zero.
The race remains scheduled for the Nov. 3, 2026, general election and is currently classified as uncontested. The main process developments to watch are any updates to the candidate list, campaign finance records, biographical information or documented policy statements before Election Day.
