COMMUNITY ISSUES

A Safe Community for Everyone

Housing & Homelessness:

The Status Quo Isn’t Working

  • Residents deserve safe, stable places to call home. We’ll fight for housing that our people can afford, not just promises. That means holding developers accountable, expanding social housing, and protecting renters from displacement. Let’s build communities, not just buildings.

  • How can we do that?

    • utilize existing state and county-owned parcels to expand housing supply for working residents; 

    • prioritize tax relief for homeowners; 

    • increased funding for existing public and low-income  housing to provide a permanent place to live for our houseless kūpuna, keiki, and ‘ohana.

Good Government:

Working to Do Good,

Not Staying to Do Well

  • We’re committed to full transparency, ethical leadership, and clean campaigns powered by grassroots support. No backroom deals, no special treatment — just public service with integrity. Easy enough, right? 

  • How can we do that? If elected, I will: 

    • advocate for publicly financed elections, 

    • term limits for legislators, and 

    • reforms to make the Legislature a more democratic home for Hawai‘i’s residents

 Health District:

Efficiency, Transparency, and Preventive Care

  • In a Hawai‘i where the cost of living is already high - families shouldn’t have to choose between paying rent and seeing a doctor. By prioritizing efficiency, transparency, and preventative care, we can deliver better outcomes and peace of mind without burdening local businesses or taxpayers.

    • Every resident deserves access to quality, affordable health care, regardless of income, background, or zip code.

    • Hawaiʻi must accomplish a universal health care system that builds on what already works, like employer coverage and Medicaid, while reducing out-of-pocket costs and expanding access to our community’s underserved people.

Public Education:

Putting Quality Education,

Not Politics, in the Center

Our keiki and kūpuna deserve the best. We’ll stand up for our public schools and our teachers, fund education fully from preschool through the UH system, and protect faculty rights. We should be keeping resources in our public schools in order to uplift our students and educators.
