Priority Issues:
TOP LOCAL PRIORITIES: I love Kauai, our people and our ʻāina, and I want what's best for us. It's now time for a new direction and initiatives that take us into the future, so let's work together for Kauai and Niihau to:
* ALLEVIATE traffic congestion on our State Highways
* LIFT THE CAP on the State Transient Accommodation Taxes (TAT) to shift the burden away from Kauai residents while creating much needed jobs
* EXPAND affordable and kupuna (elderly) housing
* INCREASE the surcharge on car rentals to maintain and develop tourism infrastructure while increasing funds for State Parks and historic preservation
* SUSTAIN funding and leverage resources for State hospitals in rural communities such as the west side
