Healthcare I believe that our State should take a more preventative approach in addressing our public health. I oppose any and all one-size-fits-all government mandates. The government has no right to interfere in an individuals personal medical decision. Lockdowns don’t work, instead they cripple peoples livelihoods. Criminal Justice / Public Safety I will fight against the radical left which wants to defund law enforcement, and will vote against piece of legislation that increases crime, such as HB 1567 (passed in 2022) which eliminates the use of monetary bail for criminal offenders. Our State must take a “tough on crime” approach and keep public safety our utmost priority. Housing Until the wait-list of 27,000 is eliminated, DHHL should make housing Native Hawaiian beneficiaries its first priority. This means being a real development agency that not only builds but also buys existing buildings and converts/divides them into separate units for beneficiaries to rent or to buy.
