Campaign themes

2016

The following quotes came from a questionnaire given to candidates by the Honolulu Civil Beat:

Rail

• Excerpt: "I propose the full build to Ala Moana without exceeding the existing approved budget by cutting back on scalable items, such as stations, train cars, etc. Too much money has been invested at this point to not complete the project to Ala Moana. Stopping at Middle Street as an option does not leave us with an effective route. Anything short of a full route will leave us with a failed railway project that does not meet the needs of our island."

Affordability

• Excerpt: "We should increase focus on affordable development that is within working people’s financial means. Most of the housing that is being built should be affordable for those of us who live here. When we allocate units for affordable housing, there should be deed restrictions preventing resale for a significant profit in order to maintain the affordable housing inventory."

Ethics and financial disclosure

• Excerpt: "I propose a two-year waiting period for people who are voted out of office, or who decide not to run again, before they are allowed to lobby. Financial disclosure policies need to be expanded to include contractors employed by city projects. Take the rail project, we do not know who the recipients are and for what amounts."

Homelessness

• Excerpt: "The homeless need more help and I propose much more temporary housing in the way of cargo crates or similar accommodations. We need to provide mental/health care and skill training to enable these individuals with job opportunities. This would equip them with potential to transition to permanent housing and become contributing members of society. Individuals willing to comply with policies and laws will be rewarded with help."
