All About Me
I am running for Hawai'i's 2nd district, and involved with the Honolulu City Council. I am the vice-president and co-founder of the Healthy Hawaii Coalition which is an enviromental non-profit organization. I joined the Hawai'i National Guard in 2003, currently serve as Company Commander, and volunteered to serve two deployments to the Middle East. I am currently the youngest person elected in the Hawaii State Legislature in 2002, and represent District 42.
Memorial Day on Kaua'i
On Memorial Day, I visited the veterans of the past wars. The bond between veterans, and the joy that exists among those who have worn the uniform and served, is something very special.
Serving Our Country
I have served our country for a long time, and I believe we should bring our troops home. Since we have killed Osama bin Laden, we have provided the Afghan people and government with the tools they need to succeed. In order for Afghanistan to achieve stability and peace, the Afghan people must stand up and determine the direction of their future.
Veteran Chit-Chat
As the day of Memorial Day went on we talked about how our troops should come home. We must take the $2.5 billion a week we are pouring into Afghanistan to prop up a corrupt government and invest those resources in rebuilding our own economy here at home.
