DescriptionHow much might the views of the person representing the 2nd district change? To find out, Civil Beat asked the five candidates where they stood on seven issues. Candidates revealed a wide range of views on social issues like same-sex marriage, abortion and access to emergency contraceptives.

Hannemann, who now serves as president of the Hawaii Lodging & Tourism Association; and Hilo attorney Bob Marx detailed positions that put them on the more conservative side of the spectrum.

Office of Hawaiian Affairs advocate Esther Kiaaina, Honolulu attorney Rafael del Castillo and Honolulu City Council member Tulsi Gabbard took more traditionally liberal stances, with Kiaaina arguably the most definitively left-leaning.

Here's a question-by-question rundown of how the candidates answered Civil Beat's survey, with complete responses from each candidate footnoted at the bottom of the page.
