The U.S. state of Hawaii is divided into two congressional districts for representation in the United States House of Representatives. History{{main article|Hawaii Territory's At-large congressional district|l1=Territorial Congressional delegates}}Before statehood, the Territory of Hawaii was represented by a non-voting delegate. {{main article|Hawaii's At-large congressional district}}From statehood until 1963, Hawaii had one representative. From 1963 to the creation of the two districts in 1971, Hawaii was represented in the United States House of Representatives with two representatives elected at-large statewide. Current districts and representatives
1st district{{main article|Hawaii's 1st congressional district}}The first congressional district is far smaller in area and has a much denser population than the second district. Covering the southeastern parts of the City & County of Honolulu, including downtown Honolulu, the district was most recently represented by Democrat Colleen Hanabusa from 2016-2019 when she retired to unsuccessfully run for governor of Hawaii. Before her, Mark Takai held the seat from January 2015 until his death in July 2016. A special election was scheduled for November 8, 2016, the same day as the regularly-scheduled election, to fill Takai's seat for the remainder of the 114th United States Congress.[2] That election was won by Colleen Hanabusa. {{clear}}2nd district{{main article|Hawaii's 2nd congressional district}}The second congressional district is far more spread out than the first district. Including northern and western Oahu, along with the entirety of the state's other islands, the district includes Kauai, Maui, and Hawaii counties, along with part of Honolulu County. The entire district spans {{convert|331|mi|km}} and comprises small towns with historical roots in the pineapple and sugarcane plantations. It has been represented by Democrat Tulsi Gabbard since January 2013.[3] {{clear}}Historical and present district boundariesTable of United States congressional district boundary maps in the State of Hawaii, presented chronologically.[4] All redistricting events that took place in Hawaii between 1973 and 2013 are shown.
