Campaign themes

2016

The following issues were listed on Shiratori's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

  • Elderly: I WANT TO SEE REASONABLE AND RESPONSIBLE LONG TERM HEALTH CARE FOR OUR ELDERLY. I WANT TO SEE AFFORDABLE DRUGS AND HOUSING FOR THE ELDERLY. WE OWE IT TO OUR KAPUNA.
  • Economy: I WANT TO PROVIDE SEED MONEY TO GROW NEW INDUSTRY; CLEAN INDUSTRY THAT PROVIDES GOOD PAYING JOBS. I WANT TO PROVIDE SEED MONEY TO DEVELOP NEW CROPS AND AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GROW ALTERNATIVES AND/OR ADDITIVES TO OUR GASOLINE. WITH OUR CLIMATE AND SOIL, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GROW HIGH YIELD AND EXOTIC PRODUCTS. WE CAN GIVE TAX BREAKS AND/OR SEED MONEY TO FARMERS TO GROW NEW CROPS AND AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS FOR OUR LOCAL ECONOMY AND EXPORT.
  • Housing: GIVE DEVELOPERS TAX INCENTIVES TO BUILD MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR THE ELDERLY AND THE LESS FORTUNATE. PLUG UP THE LOOPHOLES IN THE CURRENT LAW SO THAT DEVELOPERS CAN NOT BUY THEIR WAY OUT OF PROVIDING LOW AND MEDIUM PRICED HOUSING ALONG WITH THEIR PROJECT.
  • Welfare: WE NEED TO REVAMP THE WELFARE SYSTEM AND GET THESE PEOPLE INTO THE WORK FORCE FASTER. THERE ARE PLENTY OF INTRODUCTORY JOBS AVAILABLE FOR THE PEOPLE TO INITIALLY GET OFF WELFARE. WE CAN ALSO REQUIRE THAT WELFARE RECIPIENTS GIVE SO MANY HOURS OF WORK TO COMMUNITY PROJECTS TO CLEAN OUR PUBLIC BATHROOMS, BEACHES, REMOVE GRAFFITI, CLEAN OUR WAIKIKI STREETS AND PARKS AND, IN ESSENCE, CONTRIBUTE TO THE HANDS THAT FEED THEM.
  • Hawaiians: I BELIEVE IN SOVEREIGNTY FOR THE HAWAIIAN PEOPLE. THEY SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE RECOGNIZED AS A SOVEREIGN NATION. HOWEVER, UNLIKE THE MAINLAND, WE ALL LIVE TOGETHER. WE HAVE NO “RESERVATIONS”. SOVEREIGNTY SHOULD UNIFY THE HAWAIIAN PEOPLE, GIVE THEM A PRIDE IN THEIR CULTURE AND HERITAGE, BUT THEY STILL SHOULD HAVE TO ABIDE BY THE LAWS AND RULES THAT GOVERN ALL THE CITIZENS OF THE STATE OF HAWAII.
