Expand all | Collapse all

Recently retired contractor, 6-year leader of statewide landscape council, 45-year resident in my Koolauloa/North Shore district, I am prepared to serve and represent our citizens. Background as instructor in logic, philosophy & humanities, followed by 30 years' experience employing up to 180 men and women of local and immigrant origin, I have also served in many volunteer capacities - as worship leader, community association trustee, local history docent, volunteer project coordinator, Neighborhood Board member, Ag Committee member, and political party officer. Married, since 1974, to Antya Miler, 15-year local Chamber of Commerce leader, and daughter of a Waialua plantation doctor, we have one son, a Kahuku HIgh graduate and Eagle Scout, I bring experience, local knowledge, and dedication to the task. I favor liberty, fostering a more effective and business-conducive government, Prince Kuhio's homelands vision, and real action on homelessness, cost of living, and better roads.
  • Together we can do better.
  • When I vote I join with neighbors and say 'We Can Do Better.'
  • Get Ready.
Stopping the mismanagement of State lands; returning Hawaiian Homelands to the beneficiaries including creative solutions to financing, swapping out unsuitable lands, and Federal cooperation on effective changes; reducing the cost of housing, the delays in permitting, and finding local building materials and methods enabling self-help housing; fostering local food production agriculture using best practices, land & processing and marketing infrastructure improvements, and a focus on the actual needs of production farmers. And, not least, amending laws that hinder effective assistance to the mentally ill or substance-addicted among homeless people and that prevent enforcement of unlawful occupation of public spaces.
Richard Durban, Senator from Illinois, who sponsored, partly authored and led the Senate minority whose more numerous votes were key in passing the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Prince Jonah Kalanianaole Kuhio, second and most long-serving Hawaii Territorial Delegate to Congress, founded the Hawaiian Civic Clubs, and achieved passage of the Hawaiian Homestead Act. Rick Rogers, friend, aviator, seafarer, historian, agitator for protection of special Hawaii places.
I would like to follow Senator Durban's example: relentless but judicious leadership that achieves a genuine reform of government.
Aristotle's Politics, De Tocqueville's Democracy in America, and the Republican National Committee's, and the Hawaii Republican Party's platforms.
Calm temperament, judicious speaking, and wide-ranging knowledge of history, the actual conditions of the people in his or her constituency, and strategic choice and persistence in advocacy.
Decades of life experience in our district; friendly and outgoing; background in private customer service for people, and in situations, of all kinds; knowledgeable in history, politics, and government organization; strong concern for more effective, more responsive government; strong interest in liberty and self-government; patriotism for our republican form of government.
Responsiveness to, and communication with, constituents, familiarity with all key legislation, and specific advocacy for changes at law that will benefit the people of the district.
A revitalized Hawaii agriculture and other economic diversification; a more responsive, effective government with more local control.
The assassination of President John F. Kennedy. I was 12 years old.
Newspaper delivery, from age of 11 to 17.
The Bible.
Gus, in Lonesome Dove.
"You are My Angel," by Horace Andy
Earning a living, beyond basic necessities, in this high-cost, high-regulation state.
Hawaii's House of Representatives is somewhat less likely to enact foolish ideas based in ideology, as they must answer to the voters every two years.
Yes, it can be but - it all depends. Too much, or exclusively government and political experience makes people lose touch with what ordinary citizens face in making a living.
Diversifying the economy and getting a handle on over-tourism.; recovering from the virus-pandemic and its economy-crushing government response; housing and other living costs factors must be tackled to avoid driving out the working families who do not already have housing; overcoming the inertia of established over-regulation, inefficient bureaucracies, school system, employee-union influence over legislators for public-employees' own interests in legislation; land owning mosopsony of 20 private and 3 public entities with too much influence, preventing private ownership for residential and independent agricultural use of lands for ordinary people.
Line item veto without after-the fact sequester except in declared emergency periods.
Only with legislative coalitions will good laws be made, bad ones stopped.
Our current balanced commission with members appointed by both parties with a tie-breaking chair approved by both sides is about as fair as you can get.
Agriculture, public lands, judiciary or public safety.
I would serve in the caucus as a leader in whatever capacity the body agrees. Whip or floor leader would be suitable.
Sam Slom, long-serving State Senator.
No.
A woman was recently murdered at a 'chop shop' car theft ring operating openly and with impunity for years on unused State agricultural land in close proximity to residential housing.
