Hawaii › Honolulu County › Honolulu City Council District IV
2 candidates are tracked for Honolulu City Council District IV on the November 3, 2026 ballot: Trevor Ozawa and Tara Malia Gregory. Candidate information follows official Honolulu County election filings; verify with the official election office linked below.
Trevor Ozawa (12,252 votes) and Tara Malia Gregory (4,212) advance to the November 3, 2026 general election, per the Hawaii Office of Elections' official August 8 primary results — pending appeal. Sitting Council Chair Tommy Waters was ruled ineligible for a third consecutive term under the charter's two-term limit by a First Circuit judge on July 27, 2026; ballots were already printed, so his name appeared and his 8,654 votes counted only toward the majority calculation, per Civil Beat and the acting city clerk. Waters has appealed, and Gregory has filed a state Supreme Court complaint over the clerk's handling, so the November lineup could still change by court order. Confirm the final lineup with the Office of the City Clerk.
Attorney who runs his own Honolulu law firm and served as the District 4 councilmember from 2015 to 2019, chairing the council's Budget Committee, per his campaign site and Civil Beat; he brought the court case that disqualified rival Tommy Waters.
