Get StartedIt's time to make Hawai'i's economy work for Hawai'i's people. I support creating a living wage for working families, so that everyone can afford to meet their basic needs. I will also work to establish a paid family leave program that allows families to care for newborn keiki or aging kupuna without sacrificing their financial well-being. Finally, I will fight for truly affordable housing and tax fairness, ensuring that the generations to come aren't priced out of paradise. Learn more
As a long-time educator, I am committed to fully-funding our education system. I will champion legislation to increase funding for public schools, lower class sizes, repair deteriorating facilities, and reduce standardized testing. I will also support proposals to give additional resources to special education classes, so that our most vulnerable keiki have the tools they need to succeed. And I will advocate for measures that stem our state's teacher shortage and put a qualified educator in every classroom. Learn more
Climate change is the most pressing issue facing our generation. I believe that we must grow green jobs in Hawai'i by investing heavily in renewable energy. I will also support efforts to begin a managed retreat from our shorelines in areas that will be impacted by sea level rise. Sustainability also requires us to preserve culturally significant spaces, which is why I will work to protect our ʻāina and water resources from being commodified by corporations at the expense of Hawai'i's indigenous population.
