“As a former public school teacher, I know that education happens both in the classroom and in the home. Our local families sacrifice to allow their children to succeed in school and we owe it to them to make sure our keiki succeed.” (Scot Matayoshi campaign website)
“Strengthening agriculture is an important step to diversifying our economy.” (Scot Matayoshi campaign website)
“We need to grow our agricultural industry to promote food independence and instill in students a love for the land as a cherished resource. While we will never grow more wheat than Kansas, we can focus on crops and animals that Hawaii has a competitive advantage in growing due to our isolation, like SPF shrimp and certain kinds of seed crops.” (Scot Matayoshi campaign website)
