Terez Amato announces campaign for State Senate District 6, South and West Maui

Terez Amato, a Democrat from Kihei, announced today that she will challenge incumbent Rosalyn Baker in the Democratic Primary for State Senate District 6, South and West Maui on Saturday, August 9th 2014.

"Maui needs a Senator who is working for the people, not for corporations" Amato said. "I will never take money from corporations or lobbyists. The people of Maui will always be assured that I am working for them, not for special interests."

Amato, a mother of four teenage children, grew up on Maui and has raised her family here. "Maui is my home," she said. "I will always support Maui's families, workers and small businesses. Keeping Maui free from toxins and pollution, and protecting the health of our people and our environment will always be one of my top priorities. That is something we can't afford to compromise on, which is another reason why I will never take money from corporations or lobbyists. The people of Maui need to know for sure that their Senator works for them."

Amato says her other priorities as State Senator will include strong limits on chemical pesticides to keep Maui's air, water and soil safe and healthy, and the right to have clear labeling of our food.

"Taking care of Maui's families starts with a clean and healthy environment free from toxic chemicals," Amato said. "We can create a strong economy with good jobs for everyone, while we keep Maui clean, healthy and prosperous for our families and our children."

Terez Amato will face Rosalyn Baker in the Democratic Primary on Saturday August 9th 2014.
