## Resource

A legal showdown is heating up over a Honolulu City Council seat as former councilmember Trevor Ozawa sues to block incumbent Tommy Waters from running in the August primary, arguing Waters has already hit his two-term limit. Waters claims his first term was only partial and shouldn’t count under legal precedent, while Ozawa’s earlier objection to the ballot was rejected by the county clerk. Waters remains confident the law is on his side, and the case could have major implications as election day nears. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
