Environment / Energy I’m fighting to protect our ʻāina and keep our communities safe by investing in wildfire prevention, clean energy, local food systems, and climate-ready infrastructure — restoring watersheds, strengthening disaster planning, and ensuring every project honors culture, science, and community voice. Economy I’m fighting to make Hawaiʻi livable for working families by expanding childcare, improving wages, stabilizing housing, and supporting healthcare access — building a system where parents can stay rooted, keiki can grow, and everyday workers have the stability and dignity they deserve. Education I’m fighting for keiki to learn in safe, 21st century schools with culturally grounded education, fair pay for teachers, and real support beyond the classroom — from child welfare reform and restorative juvenile justice to affordable higher education — building a cradle-to-career system rooted in equity.. Taxes / Budget I’m fighting for tax fairness by closing loopholes, making the ultra-rich and big corporations pay their share, and redirecting revenue into housing, schools, and healthcare — ensuring Hawaiʻi’s wealth serves our communities and funds the future our families deserve.
