Aloha North Shore Friends and Family!
Thank you for the overwhelming support I have received since posting my candidacy video for the Hawaii State House of Representatives representing District 47.
In just a few days the video has been viewed more than 8,000 times, received almost 400 reactions, and has been shared by almost 300 users!
More important than the numbers, your response has demonstrated that you are excited to have a candidate who believes that the “True Country Culture” of service, self-initiative, and sacrifice - we are so fortunate to live by here on the North Shore – can continue to make a significant impact in our North Shore communities and Statewide. Please continue to get the word out by sharing this video and page with those in your contacts and networks.
At the end of the video I shared with you three ways I plan to be a true representative of our community. These are:
Seek to UnderstandSeek understanding and input from our local leaders and community members – Too often programs or initiatives are forced onto our district without significant input from community members. Our North Shore community is filled with individuals who have vast experience in different fields. We also have community members who have dedicated much of their lives in service to our communities. I promise that when faced with issues concerning our community – I will not ignore our community voice but rather seek understanding and input from our community.

Support LocalSupport local initiatives and programs– Our North Shore community has long established that we are willing to do what it is necessary to “take kea our own.” From current initiatives like Keep Laie Cool – to a local church group providing monthly luncheons for its elderly – our community is willing to take responsibility for our issues and needs. I promise that I will continue to support the growth and development of these important programs and initiatives as they respond to the needs of our specific area.
|
Plan and Attend MeetingsActively plan, attend, and participate in regular community meetings and events – I recognize that I cannot accurately represent the needs and desires of our community unless I am IN our community. We need a representative who is committed to attending neighborhood board meetings, community association meetings, and community events. I promise to maintain an active presence in our community to ensure that we are working to properly address current needs and prepare for the needs of future generations.
