The 2002 Hawaii gubernatorial election was held on November 5,2002,to select the Governor of Hawaii. Incumbent Democratic Governor of Hawaii Ben Cayetano was term-limited and therefore could not run for re-election. Former Maui Mayor Linda Lingle,who had narrowly lost the 1998 election,was nominated once again by the Republicans while Lieutenant Governor Mazie Hirono earned the Democratic nomination in a tight race. Lingle and Hirono duked it out in a hard-fought campaign,with Hirono's campaign crippled by allegations of corruption within the Hawaii Democratic Party and many voters desiring a change. Ultimately,Lingle defeated Hirono in a close election,making her the first Republican Governor of Hawaii elected since 1959 and the state's first-ever female governor.

The 2010 special election for the 1st congressional district of Hawaii was a special election to the United States House of Representatives that took place to fill the vacancy caused by Representative Neil Abercrombie's resignation on February 28,2010 to focus on his campaign for Governor of Hawaii in the 2010 gubernatorial election. Abercrombie planned to not run for re-election in 2010,and many of the candidates that were running for his open seat transferred to the special election. The election was held on May 22,2010 and Republican Charles Djou won,defeating five Democrats,four fellow Republicans,and four Independent candidates. The main reason for his win was because there were two Democratic candidates instead of one,which split the votes,allowing Djou to win,as Hawaii is an overwhelmingly Democratic state. Djou became the first Republican elected to Congress from Hawaii since Pat Saiki in 1988;Djou volunteered on Saiki's 1988 campaign,and Saiki served as Djou's campaign chair in 2010. As of 2022,this was the last time in which a Republican was elected to Congress from Hawaii.
