Elijah Pierick (R)
We need to have an improved economy for our state. People are moving away because it is too expensive to live here. My sister with her family and my brother have all moved off the island because it's too expensive to live here. This is a personal priority of mine to help our economy improve.
Crime in our district is at unprecedented heights. We need to respond to this with more police officers and neighborhood watches in our community. I support the police, and I support safer neighborhoods.
Elijah Pierick (R)
PROTECTION - The neighborhoods need to be a crime-free place to live. We should increase the security presence in our neighborhoods and utilize the police to promote safety.
TRANSPORTATION - We should reduce traffic and make commute times faster.
EDUCATION - Teachers should be paid well. The DOE needs our focus. Vouchers should be an option for parents choosing private, charter, or homeschool for their children.
COMMUNITY - Our families are the foundation of our neighborhoods. We should be more connected.
HOMELESS - When necessary, we should use the police to enforce vagrancy laws. For the existing homeless, we should partner with the university medical units to diagnose and treat them. The non-profits in the state can educate and train them.
HOUSING - We should continue developing neighborhoods like Hoopili to provide cheaper housing for locals.
BUISNESS - Our people and businesses need the liberty to operate and function with freedom.
PEACE - Neighbors are correctly voicing their concerns on fireworks and speeding near them. We desire peaceful neighborhoods and safe streets.
ENVIRONMENT - We need to steward the land and ocean for the next generation.
