The District 37 race
Trish La Chica is the Democratic candidate for Hawaii State House District 37 in the 2026 general election. La Chica is the incumbent, meaning she currently holds the seat she is seeking in this election.
The general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026. The District 37 contest is listed as uncontested, with no other candidate identified in the race. That describes the current candidate field; it is not a prediction or a reported election result.
The office is a seat in the Hawaii State House of Representatives. The candidate listing identifies La Chica’s party affiliation as Democratic. No other party affiliation applies to her candidacy in this race.
Background and experience
No candidate biography is on file for La Chica. The candidate listing therefore does not identify personal history, education, previous employment or community roles beyond her status as the District 37 incumbent.
Incumbency is the only documented information about her government experience in this profile. It establishes that La Chica holds the House seat during the election cycle, but it does not by itself describe her legislative priorities, committee work or record on individual measures.
Voters evaluating the candidate can distinguish between those two categories of information: the official candidate entry identifies who is running and whether that person currently holds office, while a biography would offer additional background. For this race, the official entry identifies La Chica, her Democratic affiliation and her incumbent status.
Policy positions
No documented policy positions are on file for La Chica in the District 37 race. As a result, this profile does not assign her a position on taxes, housing, education, health care, transportation, public safety or other state issues.
Party affiliation and incumbent status are not substitutes for a candidate’s stated position. A policy position requires a documented statement tied to the candidate. None is listed here, so voters cannot use this profile to compare La Chica’s stated views across specific issues.
The absence of listed positions also means there is no documented campaign platform to summarize. Any later official candidate statement or campaign filing could add detail about the issues La Chica chooses to emphasize before the general election.
Campaign finance and election details
No totals are on file for money raised, money spent or cash on hand. Those are separate campaign finance measures: money raised tracks receipts, money spent tracks expenditures, and cash on hand reflects funds retained by a campaign. This profile reports no dollar amounts because none is listed for La Chica.
The central election details are fixed: La Chica is running as a Democrat for State House District 37, she is the incumbent, the race is listed as uncontested, and the general election date is Nov. 3, 2026.
Before Election Day, voters can watch for changes to the official candidate listing, the posting of campaign finance totals and any documented candidate statements on policy. Those updates would add information about the campaign without changing the distinction between a candidate’s party label, background, finances and stated positions.
