Get StartedI believe that we should examine the efficacy of our prison system for minor offenders, while also ensuring that those guilty of severe crimes are still served justice. The exorbitant cost of prisons and the privatization of the criminal justice system has ultimately hurt our community. Additionally, reforms in policing and public health will also help with minimizing violence while benefitting the community. Learn more
I aim to support the thousands of small businesses and young entrepreneurs who want to contribute positively to our community. When I think of our economy, I think of our ahupua'a system and working to use every resource sustainably from the mountain to the sea to our advantage. Learn more
I believe in free pre-school and debt-free college options for all. I will fight for an education system that supports everyone; that allows people to pursue their academic dreams without worrying about paying for books, meals, or dorms. Learn more
I will support initiatives that aim to reduce or eliminate the use of plastics, fossil fuels, and unsustainable materials. With the onset of global climate change, we are at a tipping point in defining our planet's future. I myself have sought vegetarianism as a means to reduce my own carbon footprint. I believe that we can introduce initiatives for companies and individuals to be more sustainable to combat global climate change. New forms of sustainable energy, carbon capture, and more are all initiatives of which I am supportive. Learn more
I am excited to represent Hawaii, because I enjoy meeting with all of our environmental organizations who work to introduce sustainability to the community. Similarly, I believe that nationwide, members of congress can seek guidance from indigenous, sustainable practices. In the future, I want Hawaii to have clean water, fish, and sustainable farming to be self-sufficient. Learn more
I hope to promote social networks that inhibit the spread of misinformation to allow citizens throughout the world to participate in democracies best-suited for them. I also seek to end pointless wars and to promote diplomacy that encourages the elimination of nuclear weapons while also ensuring national and global security. Learn more
I believe that we can use our values as Hawaiians to show Congress that being compassionate and working together is the best way to develop new policies. I will fight for voting rights, allowing for people to easily register to vote and cast their ballots. Everyone in Hawai'i has the right to vote and deserves unfiltered access to happenings in government. Learn more
I will invest and integrate new technology into Hawaii's healthcare system, provide support for rural community health, and examine new policies to improve health (such as preventative health care for all) Learn more
I am interested in new systems of homeownership, such as guaranteed housing for all, in addition to promoting affordable housing. Learn more
To solve our housing problems, I am considering measures that look towards temporarily banning or limiting foreign homebuyers in Hawaii, increasing taxes on foreign homebuyers, and/or restricting foreign buyers to leasehold purchases to leave more housing options available for our local community.

I will advocate for our Native Hawaiian community and seek new programs that will provide healthcare, housing, and education to our people. Hawaiians are at risk for major health problems, and have been constantly marginalized. As native peoples, we find ourselves having to constantly educate others about the injustices that we face to advocate for new solutions and initiatives to support our community. I hope to support indigenous peoples so that we can achieve our own goals and aspirations. Learn more
