I will always continue to fight for the dream of Hawaiʻi-- the dream where everyone will wake up feeling hope and gratitude. Without any sense of dread or uncertainty.

As a legislator, I will create and push legislation that supports local businesses -- by giving loans and grants to support all local mom and pop stores here in Hawai‘i and for those who want to create their own businesses here. Especially for all local businesses affected in and around the skyline in Kalihi.

As representative, I will advocate and implement strict fiscal responsibilities for all of our taxpayers not just in Kalihi but across Hawai‘i. We need to make sure that our taxpayers' monies go back to the benefits of our communities first -- not private interests groups or overseas.

The government officials need to start working for the working class people. We need to advocate for ourselves. Keep our communities first!

Also Mahalo to the Hawaiian Humane Society for their hard work and for all of their volunteers in regards to taking care of all of the animals!

As state representative, I will allocate for more outreach for our keiki / students in our public schools. We really do not know what is happening with the children at home. There are a lot of children that are struggling at both home and school and we need to lend a helping hand.

As leaders in our own communities, lend a helping hand to the underserved -- not just during picture taking and not just at the worst moments. Show up everyday and do not wait for permission to help. Just do it.

Big mahalo to Governor Josh Green, and all of the legislatures who supported the E-Bike / E-Scooter safety bill for Hawai‘i!

And big Mahalo to all of the first responders who worked tirelessly to save the victims of the E-Bike accidents.

AND another BIG mahalo to Pearl City Neighborhood Board Chairman Larry Veray for the collaboration with me when I used to be chairwoman of the Kalihi-Palama Neighborhood Board for this joint resolution!

Let us continue to consider the safety for EVERYONE in our communities in Hawai‘i!
