Candidates in Focus (CIF) Program Overview
This initiative offers candidates running for Oʻahu or statewide office a direct platform to connect with the community. Each candidate has the opportunity to deliver a 5-minute message, which will be featured in programs categorized by contest and region. These programs will be broadcast on our cable channels and accessible online before both the primary and general elections.
Recording sessions for the general election will begin on August 27th.

If you already have a produced short or full-length program, you can submit it for airing on our cable channels. ‘Ōlelo’s channels reach over 285,000 subscribers on O‘ahu, offering a great way to connect with many voters. Please ensure that submitted programs are free of commercial content and do not solicit funds.
