Candidates in Focus: Primary and General Election
Candidates in Focus is a unique service designed to give candidates running for office in O‘ahu or statewide a platform to present their messages directly to the public. This program allows candidates to share their vision, policies, and campaign messages in a five-minute segment that is broadcast on television and made accessible online.
What We Offer:
- In-Person Studio Recording: Candidates can record their segments at our state-of-the-art studio, guided by our professional staff.
- Virtual Remote Conference Recording: For those who prefer or require remote participation, we offer virtual recording sessions facilitated by our team.
- Self-Recorded Video Submissions: Candidates can submit their own pre-recorded videos, following our framing guidelines to ensure consistency and quality.
Recording Schedule
- Sessions are available at various times throughout the day to accommodate different schedules. More details: olelo.org/CIFinfo
Broadcast and Online Availability
- Candidates’ messages will be consolidated into programs categorized by contest, and these will be aired on television and available on youtube before the Primary Election.
