The February 2025 general election saw President Farosh re-elected to a second term with HawaiianDPG as his running mate. The ticket received 73.3% of the vote. HawaiianDPG, who previously served as Secretary of State in Farosh's first cabinet, replaced Xeocas on the ticket due to Xeocas's intention to move to Havaiki, an ally of Cascadia within the Organization of Free Nations. | The February 2025 general election saw President Farosh re-elected to a second term with HawaiianDPG as his running mate.

The term was also shadowed by the continuation of the OFN-Entente War, in which Cascadia was at war with Australia, Illinois, and California, known as the Entente. Following the election of Texan King Bill "Rocky" Moor as President of Vermont on March 1st, Vermont began the process of incorporating Texas into their federation, contributing to a solidification of Vermont hegemony over the Eastern United States, altering the balance of power within the Organization of Free Nations. | The term was also shadowed by the continuation of the OFN-Entente War, in which Cascadia was at war with Australia, Illinois, and California, known as the Entente.

The election is taking place against a backdrop of complex international relations, particularly with the ally of Havaiki. A significant Havaikian-Cascadian community, known as the Arcadian community, has influenced the political landscape, with several candidates, such as Capitanfra, Xeocas, and vice presidential candidate ShadowCipher having ties to both nations. | The election is taking place against a backdrop of complex international relations, particularly with the ally of Havaiki.

Hawaiian’s platform focuses on infrastructure development and strengthening Cascadia’s sovereignty, contrasting with Capitanfra’s emphasis on recruitment programs, territorial expansion, further integration with other North American States and global communities, and weekly events. Hawaiian has emphasized his continuous service to Cascadia as a key differentiator from Capitanfra, who has faced criticism for his recent tenure outside the nation and his involvement in a legal controversy. Capitanfra supported the legal challenge of Shadowcipher, a former Speaker accused of treason by critics for illegally selling the government asset of the USA Trade Possession to Mexico. This controversy has raised questions about Capitanfra’s judgment and loyalty to Cascadia, specifically by Attorney General Akeboun, who endorsed Hawaiian on March 10th following an argument with Capitanfra over Capitanfra's involvement in the USA Affair. | Hawaiian’s platform focuses on infrastructure development and strengthening Cascadia’s sovereignty, contrasting with Capitanfra’s emphasis on recruitment programs, territorial expansion, further integration with other North American States and global communities, and weekly events.
