WHY I AM RUNNING FOR HOUSE DISTRICT 42

Aloha. Everyone knows that Hawaii is in trouble and our State Government is a mess. Just look at all the bad news lately. High unemployment, layoffs, bankruptcies, furloughs, inflation, skyrocketing taxes, foreclosures and failing schools. A revolving door of professional politicians with no common sense have left Hawaii worse than they found it. Thanks to the majority party at the State Capitol, local working people and local employers are being increasingly squeezed out; barely able to make it from paycheck to paycheck.

Real change is desperately needed NOW and I'm the one person running for State House to represent Ewa and Lower Waipahu who has an Action Plan to clean up that mess, get this economy moving and to make Hawaii more affordable. I truly believe that you and your family deserve better results than you've been getting for your tax dollars. If elected, I will deliver for you ; bringing the right priorities, fresh leadership and serious reform to put our state on the right track, so people can find good jobs, start businesses, and finally start getting their money’s worth from our state government.

Among my commitments to you:

1. I will vote for Term Limits to limit my time in elected office -- something current legislators have not even debated;
2. I will vote to have the Sunshine Law applied to the Legislature -- so that transparency is the norm, not the rare exception;
3. I will vote to revamp the Legislature resulting in a Unicameral Legislative body -- saving taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars and ending the Senate and House Bicameral system that hinders productivity.

For a decade now, I've served you in the community. Now I ask you, my friends and neighbors, to send me to the State Capitol as your representative.
