He gets excited by improving systems for increased efficiency, helping others, and being a servant leader for the neighborhood.
- My goal is to implement the feedback that I have been receiving from going door to door throughout the district. I'm running for office because people asked me to run and represent them. The goal is to be selfless and to work hard for the people of my district.
- We need to have an improved economy for our state. People are moving away because it is too expensive to live here. My sister with her family and my brother have all moved off the island because it's too expensive to live here. This is a personal priority of mine to help our economy improve.
- Crime in our district is at unprecedented heights. We need to respond to this with more police officers and neighborhood watches in our community. I support the police, and I support safer neighborhoods.
ECONOMY - We should structure the taxes to where the locals and homeowners pay less taxes while outside investors and tourists are paying most of the taxes. HECO should have legislative limits on their prices.
PROTECTION - The neighborhoods need to be a crime-free place to live. We should increase the security presence in our neighborhoods and utilize the police to promote safety.
TRANSPORTATION - We should reduce traffic and make commute times faster.
EDUCATION - Teachers should be paid well. The DOE needs our focus. Vouchers should be an option for parents choosing private, charter, or homeschool for their children.
COMMUNITY - Our families are the foundation of our neighborhoods. We should be more connected.
HOMELESS - When necessary, we should use the police to enforce vagrancy laws. For the existing homeless, we should partner with the university medical units to diagnose and treat them. The non-profits in the state can educate and train them.
HOUSING - We should continue developing neighborhoods like Hoopili to provide cheaper housing for locals.
BUISNESS - Our people and businesses need the liberty to operate and function with freedom.
PEACE - Neighbors are correctly voicing their concerns on fireworks and speeding near them. We desire peaceful neighborhoods and safe streets.
ENVIRONMENT - We need to steward the land and ocean for the next generation.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
