The better question to ask the candidates is if they support the Hawaii county GMO ban as law? That is, to set up an enforcement program for monitoring and fining research laboratories and farmers for any crops not grand-fathered in the GMO ban (papaya, corn)?
This is going to come back to the next county council and they will be responsible for enacting the law. In addition, with lawsuits and counter-lawsuits being prepared and submitted, are they ready to provide testimony in favor of the local law against GMO? Are they ready to begin the line item budgeting for this enforcement agency? It's all going to be very amusing, now that the wheels have been set into motion.
