Tokuda, Awa projected to win Hawaii U.S. House primaries

NBC News projected Jill Tokuda and Brenton Awa as the Democratic and Republican primary winners, respectively, for Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District.

The vote data came from the Associated Press, while the race projections were made by the NBC News Decision Desk.

Democratic primary

Tokuda, the incumbent, received 91.5% in the three-candidate Democratic primary. Her support ranged from 90.8% in Maui County to 94% in Kauai County, with 91.5% in Hawaii County and 90.9% in Honolulu County.

Steven King received 3.9% districtwide. His county results were 3.3% in Hawaii County, 4.5% in Honolulu County, 3.1% in Kauai County and 4.3% in Maui County.

Greg Guithues received 3.1% districtwide. His county results were 3.7% in Hawaii County, 3.2% in Honolulu County, 1.8% in Kauai County and 2.9% in Maui County.

Republican primary

Awa was the sole candidate in the Republican primary, making the contest uncontested. NBC News projected him as the Republican nominee for the district.

Housing is an issue focus in the race. The candidates’ positions on housing are not stated in the results listing.

Understanding the count

The expected vote estimates how many ballots will be included when counting is complete. NBC News calculates that estimate using factors including early-vote totals and Election Day information from county election officials. The estimate can change as additional election information is received, so 99% expected vote does not mean every ballot has been counted.
