Hawaii's midterms point to Democrats gaining ground in the state legislature, with Governor Josh Green and Honolulu's mayor cruising to easy wins.

• Democrats flipped several state House seats from Republicans, shrinking the GOP's already small minority there.
• A closely watched state Senate race in Ewa Beach is trending toward the Democratic candidate, another possible flip.
• In the Maui mayor's race, the incumbent is holding on to win a second term despite a big-spending challenge, breaking Maui's usual pattern of ousting mayors after one term, helped by goodwill from his handling of the Lahaina fire recovery.
• Governor Josh Green and the Honolulu mayor both won by wide margins, confirming their strong popularity.

Outlook: Democrats look set to further consolidate control of Hawaii's state government, with little sign of Republican gains statewide.
