The Hawaii Green Party (HIGP) is the official organization of the Green Party of the United States in the state of Hawaii. The HGP qualified for the ballot in May 1992, one of the earliest state Green Parties to do so. In November 1992, Keiko Bonk was elected to a seat on the Big Island Hawaii County Council, the first Green to be elected in a partisan race in the United States. She was re-elected in 1994, then stepped down to run unsuccessfully for Island Mayor in 1996.
