Priority Issues:

Improving education for college entry or opportunities for technical and vocational jobs and apprenticeships. Shortening commute times on Farrington Highway. Second access road via Kolekole pass. Mitigate flooding risks on Leeward Coast. Reducing utility costs (water, electric and sewer). Protect and combine Makaha Beach and Makaha Beach Park.

Reason for Seeking Public Office:

I became motivated to run for office because I saw my Representative deliberately ignore an important community issue. I am sincerely concerned that if a Representative of the people will not do what is pono on a simple issue, then how can they be trusted when a tough issue arises?
