A local Hawaiʻi legislative race is still too close to call, with candidate Sheila Medeiros down about 200 votes after the first printout.

• Medeiros is trailing slightly in the District 43 race but says the gap mirrors the primary, when she came back from behind on a later count.
• The contest follows an unusually chaotic primary that ended in a tie and a Supreme Court-involved tiebreaker, prompting changes to how future tie votes get resolved.
• Medeiros says her top campaign issue is finishing the long-delayed Mākaʻīlo Road extension, which she says has been promised for decades without action.
• She says poor communication has left voters with only scattered pieces of information about the district's issues, and she's trying to unify that message.

Outlook: Later vote printouts will determine whether Medeiros can repeat her primary comeback and overtake her opponent.
