Summary
Kauai’s mayoral race heats up as three seasoned council members—Mel Rapozo, Bernard Carvalho, and Felicia Cowden—battle for the top spot, each pledging to unite families and tackle root causes. Carvalho, a former mayor with deep experience, zeroes in on affordable housing gaps; Rapozo, the council chair with 18 years of service, sees this as his moment to lead with patience and vision; Cowden, despite lagging funds, champions grassroots innovation and conflict resolution. All three promise aloha-driven leadership, with the primary narrowing the field to two finalists for November’s general election.
