Hawaii State House District 23

“Those experiences gave me a deep appreciation for America’s freedoms, the importance of economic opportunity, and the need for government to live within its means. I am not running because I want a political career. I am running because I believe public office should be public service.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)

“Restore accountability and common sense in government. Public office should be service, not a career. I am running to bring an independent voice to the Legislature, ask hard questions, and make sure taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly. Hawaiʻi needs realistic price tags on legislation, stronger oversight, fewer empty promises, and a line-by-line review of the state budget. Government should focus on core responsibilities and measurable results.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)

“Improve daily life in District 23. District 23 deserves clean neighborhoods, safer streets, practical disaster preparedness, and a representative who listens to residents instead of special interests. I will support policies that strengthen public safety, improve community resilience, respect families and seniors, and make government more responsive to everyday concerns. My focus is on practical local solutions that help people feel secure, respected, and rooted in the community they call home.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
