“If you send me to serve in the State House of Representatives, I will work hard for you. I will read each bill with care. My experience with parliamentary procedure, legislative review, & legal theory will ensure that I can make better use of the position than any other candidate; I won’t let you down.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) “If you send me to the House, one of my highest priorities will be to use all the powers and resources of my office to shine a spotlight in the dark corners of our government. Hawaii has a serious public corruption problem - we are in desperate need of strong leadership with the courage to stand up to corruption without fear or favor; we need political outsiders who aren’t part of the “club”. We need integrity, boldness, & fearless aloha. This is what I can bring to Honolulu from District 3.”
