General election race ratings

See also:Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets:The Cook Political Report,Inside Elections,Sabato's Crystal Ball, andDDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

• Safe andSolid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.^[1]
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.^[2][3][4]

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Hawaii in 2022. Information below was calculated on August 9, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Thirteen candidates filed to run for Hawaii's two U.S. House districts, including eight Democrats and five Republicans. That's 6.5 candidates per district, less than the 9.5 candidates per district in 2020 and the same number as in 2018.

This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census. Hawaii was apportioned two districts, the same number it was apportioned after the 2010 census. The 13 candidates running this year were six fewer than the 19 candidates who ran in 2020 and the same number as in 2018. Twelve candidates ran in 2016 and 2014, and 13 ran in 2012.

Rep.Kaiali'i Kahele (D) did not run for re-election in order to run for governor of Hawaii, making the 2nd district an open seat this year. This was the sixth consecutive election cycle where one of Hawaii’s two U.S. House seats was open. Eight candidates — two Republicans and six Democrats — ran to replace Kahele, the most candidates who ran for a seat this year.

There were four contested primaries this year, the most since 2012. There were three contested primaries in every election cycle between 2014 and 2020. Democratic and Republican candidates filed to run in both districts, so no seats were guaranteed to either party this year.

Redistricting following the 2020 census

The Hawaii Reapportionment Commission approved new legislative district maps on January 28, 2022.^[5] The commission's Technical Committee Permitted Interaction Group initially presented the state legislative map plans to the commission for consideration on October 14, 2021. The map plans were approved for public comment on October 28.^[6] On January 6, the commission approved a motion to modify the legislative map plans after learning the initial plans had not properly accounted for the number of nonpermanent resident personnel on military installations in the state, who are not included in legislative redistricting. Under the modified proposal, one legislative district would be moved from Oahu to Hawaii.^[7][8] This map took effect for Hawaii's 2022 state legislative elections.
