Watch top contenders for Honolulu mayor make their case in ‘The Job Interview'

Hawaii’s primary election is just a month away, and the five leading candidates for Honolulu mayor are scrambling to make sure their messages are heard at a time when traditional campaigning is impossible and the scale of crisis facing the city is unprecedented.

To understand where each of them stand, Hawaii News Now partnered with Honolulu Civil Beat to conduct a one-hour “job interview” of each of the leading contenders for mayor, pressing them on their vision for Oahu, how they’d tackle the problems facing the city, and their approach to leadership.

Everything from rail to homelessness to over-tourism was discussed. Nothing was off limits.
