2018 mayoral race
Maui County mayoral elections are held every four years, with County Mayors being limited to two consecutive terms. As Alan Arakawa had already served two terms consecutively, he was ineligible to seek reelection. On November 6, 2017, Victorino announced his intention to run for mayor. Maui County primaries are nonpartisan, with the top two candidates moving on to the general election. Victorino received the most votes in the 2018 primary, receiving 39.9% of the popular vote. His general election opponent, Council Member Elle Cochran received 30.6% of the popular vote in the primary. Victorino received 54.1% of the popular vote, defeating Council Member Cochran by a margin of 10.8%.
