The Hawaii Green Party first qualified for the ballot in May 1992,[2] one of the earliest state Green Parties to do so.[citation needed]
In November 1992, Keiko Bonk was elected to a seat on the Hawaii County (Big Island) County Council, the first Green to be elected in a partisan race in the United States. She was re-elected in 1994, but stepped down to run unsuccessfully for Island Mayor in 1996.[2]
In November 1998, Julie Jacobson was elected to Bonk's old seat on the Big Island, which she held upon re-election in 2000. Her campaign for election was managed by Bonk.[3] When she decided not to run in 2002, her husband Bob Jacobson ran and was elected, then re-elected again in 2004 and 2006. Jacobson lost in 2008. No Green Party members have since held elected office in Hawaii.[citation needed]
In 2012, the Green Party of Hawaii was certified to be included on Hawaii partisan election ballots in all races through 2020.[2] The party sued the Chief Election Officer Scott Nago as the state ran out of ballots on election day.[4][5] A decision in the lawsuit was rendered by the Supreme Court of Hawaii on 19 July 2016.[6]
