Fresh Leadership for Upcountry
As I’ve walked across our communities and spoken with many of you, one thing has become clear: Everyone wants fresh leadership!
I would be honored for the opportunity to bring fresh leadership for Upcountry Maui. I share your vision and hopes for this ʻāina. I have experience creating positive impact. It’s time for a change. So, I respectfully ask for your vote.
In Service to Upcountry
I’ve got some ideas for the future of our community, and I’d like to hear yours. Here’s where I’m at.
Water is life, and Upcountry’s supply is under real strain. Climate projections point to less rainfall in the years ahead, and our aging infrastructure is expensive to maintain and losing water we can’t afford to lose. Our community has already identified solutions. We need the State to help get them done.
Read more →Homes for local families, not speculation. That means building housing reserved for residents, making speculation less attractive, and fixing the systems that make building here so slow and costly.
Read more →Groceries, energy, childcare, rent. I know what it’s like to struggle to make rent and pay the bills, and I’ve watched people I love leave because they couldn’t afford to stay. We can bring these costs down.
Read more →Fix how the Legislature works, and we have a real shot at fixing the problems. Open the process. Know what bills cost. Hold ourselves accountable.
Read more →Grow more of what we eat. Generate more of our own energy. And fix the shipping rules that make everything more expensive and hold neighbor island producers back. At the same time, prepare our communities for the next disaster before it comes.
Read more →Support our teachers, provide professional salaries and benefits, attract our best and brightest to the teaching profession, and connect school to real careers here at home. I want an education system grounded in Hawaiʻi that educates toward the future, opens critically thinking minds, and instills in every student a sense of kuleana to our shared betterment.
Read more →Health coverage isn’t the same as protection, and a jail cell doesn’t solve our social ills. Families with insurance still face high deductibles and the cost of traveling off-island for care. And too many people sit in our jails because they’re poor, or struggling with addiction or mental illness. We can do better on both.
Read more →Care for the land and water that sustain us, and make sure the people closest to a place have a say in its future. Our Green Fee funds should focus on hazard mitigation, infrastructure resilience, and environmental stewardship, with allocation decisions guided by clear standards.
