Chin, who has been attorney general since 2015, is seeking to replace Rep. Colleen Hanabusa (D-Hawaii), who announced earlier this year she will run for governor in 2018.

Two Democratic state representatives, Donna Kim and Kaniela Ing, have announced they will run for the seat as well. Singer Brian Evans said he will run for the seat as a Republican.
