Jordan Conley is the Green Party nominee. He is a personal trainer, coach, and teacher who founded the nonprofit Hapa Mana in 2016. He says he is running on universal health care, a housing-first approach to homelessness, and opposition to U.S. military engagement abroad.[1][2]
According to Ballotpedia, Conley graduated from Wayne High School. He lists Burger King at age 14 as his first job and says he worked as a bartender and server before spending the last 16 years as a personal trainer, coach, and teacher.[1][2] In a Honolulu Star-Advertiser questionnaire, he listed his current occupation as teacher, coach and fitness trainer, said he has been a group fitness instructor for Hawaii Pacific Health for more than 12 years, and named the Aiea Neighborhood Board as a previous elected office.[4]
Conley says he founded the nonprofit Hapa Mana to integrate communities across income lines through sports and educational enrichment, and that COVID-19 shutdowns ended its in-person groups. The Star-Advertiser questionnaire dates the nonprofit's start to September 2016.[1][4] He says he had never wanted to run for office. He ran unopposed in the August 8, 2026 Green Party primary, receiving 368 votes.[3][1]
