Reason for Seeking Public Office:

Unfortunately, most people have no idea they can make a difference. Yet, we all face the same challenges -- high cost of living, lack of good jobs, and children too often forced to leave for the mainland never to return. If we want to make Hawaii an easier place to live then we are the ones who are going to have to do it. That's why I chose to run for office, and it's why I continue to organize our community to help build us all a better future.
