Mark Hashem is running for Hawaii State House District 19 in the Nov. 3, 2026, general election. He is identified as a Democrat and the incumbent, meaning he currently holds the seat.

The District 19 race is listed as uncontested. That describes the current contest but does not predict an election result or replace the general election date.

Background and experience

No biography is on file for Hashem. His incumbent status is the only documented background detail in the race record.

Incumbency tells voters that Hashem already serves in the office he is seeking. It does not, by itself, describe his career before entering the Legislature, his education, his community involvement or the length of his public service. None of those biographical details is listed for this race.

Hashem’s party affiliation is Democratic. A party label identifies the party under which a candidate is running, but it does not establish the candidate’s views on individual bills or public issues.

Policy positions

Hashem has no documented policy positions on file for the 2026 District 19 race. There is therefore no stated campaign position to summarize on issues such as housing, education, taxes, transportation or other matters that may come before the Legislature.

Voters assessing Hashem’s views will need to distinguish between his Democratic affiliation and positions he states himself. The party designation alone should not be treated as a substitute for a candidate’s own policy statements.

Because Hashem is an incumbent, voters may also look for future statements about his priorities for another term. Any such positions would need to come from Hashem or an official campaign filing before they could be included as his documented stance.

Campaign finance

No figures are on file for Hashem’s campaign funds raised, funds spent or cash on hand. Those three categories address different parts of campaign activity: money received, money used and money remaining.

Without filed dollar figures, there is no fundraising total, spending total or cash balance to report for this campaign. There also is no basis here for comparing Hashem’s campaign finances with another candidate, and the race is currently listed as uncontested.

Campaign finance information can change as a campaign continues and new reporting periods occur. Any future totals would provide voters with a clearer view of the campaign’s financial activity before the general election.

Election status

The election is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026. Hashem is the only candidate listed in the District 19 contest, which is marked uncontested.

An uncontested designation describes the candidate field at this point in the election process. It should not be read as a projection. The central process questions before Election Day are whether the candidate listing changes, whether campaign finance figures are filed and whether Hashem documents positions on issues facing District 19 and the state.

What to watch

  • Updates to the District 19 candidate listing
  • Any campaign finance filings
  • Any documented policy positions from Hashem
  • Election status changes before Nov. 3, 2026
