- I am committed to leading and representing our district and the state in changing the trajectory of Hawaii’s future. I believe there is a frustration with Hawaii’s deteriorating quality of life. Still, I believe we can come together, aligned in collective goals to strengthen Hawaii. If elected, as I have throughout my career, I will commit my time towards ensuring we support and honor Hawaii's hardworking families. It has been an unprecedented two years for all of us. We must never lose sight of upholding our constitutional and God-given liberties. I humbly ask for your support as I seek to represent our community, our ohana, kupuna, and especially our keiki for a better Hawaii.
- Hawaii deserves better, and I believe we can do better. The people of Hawaii are beckoning for leaders with integrity. I want to ensure we put people before politics. I want to provide policies and legislation that support and protect Hawaii and its people, not private entities. I welcome the challenge of working collaboratively with others committed to seeking long-term sustainable solutions for a better Hawaii.
- As leaders, we have a responsibility to ensure that we are not perpetuating division. As a newcomer to the political scene, I'm often taken back by some and frankly disappointed by others who continue to point fingers and bash individuals and political parties. I believe, regardless of party affiliation, collectively, we all have more values in common than not. We need to do politics differently. In February, I decided not to take monies from large corporations or any political action committees, including unions. I choose not to engage in the negativity, untruths, and indecency of politics but to focus on listening and learning about common-sense sustainable solutions to strengthen Hawaii.
