+--- Thread: Hawaii Island Could Gain A State House Seat (/showthread.php?tid=22575)
Hawaii Island Could Gain A State House Seat - HereOnThePrimalEdge - 01-08-2022
Due to a new set of numbers from the military for non-resident service members, Big Island might gain a state house district and additional state funds:
Those who would be excluded from the count live on Oahu, meaning the commission would have to re-run the apportionment process in a way that might award a new state House seat to the Big Island, formally known as Hawaii Island.
But the shift would give the Big Island a seventh state House district; currently, all six members from the island are Democrats. The extra seat would mean millions more in state money, which is allocated in part by funding formulas that account for each island's respective population.
