Where would Hawaii's third Congressional District be?

If in the 2020 census, Hawaii's population grows a good bit, and a third congressional district is needed, where it would be?

I doubt it will either. It's fun to speculate about, though.

It depends on where the growth is; if growth is uniform across the state then Oahu gets another district all to itself, but in the event that Hawaii gets a third district it probably means meteoric growth on at least one of the other islands - most likely the Big Island.   

It would be really interesting to see a exclusive Big Island congressional district, I wonder who would all run....

IIRC, nativist sentiment is the strongest on the island of Hawai'i.  It'd be interesting if a district based on that island could get a "pro-Hawaii" representative to Congress. 

I haven't heard that before, but it would be a shame if the traitorous natives get a seat in Congress.

Thanks to everyone poster in this thread, seems like the general thought process is that HI-03 would be the rest of Ohau outside of Honolulu.

Would anyone be daring enough to create a mockup of this on a map?

Thanks EG for the map, and Blagohair for the analysis - that was exactly what I was looking for. I wish Atlas had a Reddit Gold type of feature.

That being said, it's interesting to think who would run in this district. Maybe Will Espero.
