2016
Rosenstiel's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

|
Drug/Violence Rehabilitation & Prevention:
- I will continue to support and expand existing efforts to provide local drug rehabilitation services on Kaua`i and work to expand preventative programs and mental health programs.
- We need to encourage current and future education programs and outreach and involve private organizations, churches and community groups to engage and unite to prevent, heal and deal with addiction and the social consequences it has in our communities and families.
Traffic & Improved Public Infrastructure:
- My immediate top priority will be addressing the major traffic congestion issues in the Wailua area by getting involved with the intersection upgrades for Wailua Homesteads and Wailua House Lots intersections with Kuhio Hwy. From day one I will work tenaciously with Department of Transport to make traffic relief in Kapaa their priority.
- In addition to these efforts I will work to ensure that our roads and infrastructure are improved, better drainage established and road safety prioritized. Solutions are available and I will work relentlessly on this issue from day one.
Houselessness & Affordable Housing:
- I will work for housing first solutions and comprehensive plans that address the interconnected social issues our community faces. While we address houselessness we also need to provide mental health solutions and real drug rehabilitation and support systems. As we address these things simultaneously we will have more success solving these issues rather than band-aiding them. I support efforts to help establish real housing first solutions that give people a base, an address and some stability. With stability people are able to go to classes, participate in the community, get mail and are much more likely to reestablish themselves into society and get back on their feet.
Education:
- We need to be investing in the future and in quality effective education. I have a strong desire to help provide our children and communities with better schooling from preschool and early education through secondary and post high school learning.
- Income inequality and its relationship to education and opportunity is astounding, nation wide. All children deserve the opportunity to good education and materials and equal opportunities to be educated and successful.
Food Production Agriculture:
- It's important to our entire community and our ongoing survival that we put our attention to supporting food production agriculture, farmers and food security. We must support food production agriculture parcels and programs and projects to get farmers initiated and self-sustaining.
- A combination of backyard and community gardens and local food producing agriculture can reverse our 90% importation of food, but it must be a collaborative effort between all levels of government, community members, educators, non profits, farmers and consumers. Efforts to support local sustainable food producing agriculture will always be a top priority for me.[1]
