There's a new House district in West Hawaii, and four candidates have lined up to compete for it. House District 6, running down the coast from Kailua-Kona to Honaunau, was created by the state Reapportionment Commission when the island's population grew enough to warrant an eighth House seat this year. The renumbered district includes Honaunau, Napoopoo, Captain Cook, Kealakekua, Keauhou, Holualoa and parts of Kailua-Kona. Running for the seat are Democratic candidates Ilya Barannikov, Kirstin Kahaloa and Lono Mack.
