Newly appointed Senator Troy Hashimoto. (11.9.23) PC: Office of the Governor

Starting Wednesday, the Maui County Democratic Party will be accepting applications for nominees to fill the vacancy of State House Representative Troy N. Hashimoto.

Last Thursday, the representative was appointed by Governor Josh Green, M.D. to fill the Senate District 5 vacancy created by outgoing State Senator Gilbert S.C. Keith-Agaran who resigned on Oct. 31, 2023.

This appointment resulted in a seat vacancy for House District 10. The district comprises the Central Maui communities of Paukūkalo, Wailuku, Wailuku Heights, Waikapū, Hyashi Village, and a portion of Waiehu.
