What qualifies you to represent the people of Hawaii?

EDUCATION BACKGROUND

Diplome de Patisserie Ecole de Cuisine Lavarenne in France.
SKILLS
My working experience provided me with the skill sets of a problem solver. The analytical (looking at what caused the problem) from my years in the financial services industry and creativity (imagination to create ideas for a solution) from my years working in culinary and education field.
KNOWLEDGE
60 years of promises by the Democratic party in our state, we continue to have:
*. Record numbers of people working two or more jobs – or only able to find part- time work
* The nation’s highest cost of living
* One of the nation’s lowest rates of home ownership rates
* The growth of homelessness
* Inadequate public schools turning out graduates – and dropouts!
* Heavy tax burden – Hawai‘i’s 4 percent GET is one of America’s most efficient ways to extract dollars from residents and visitors.
* Out-of-control government, which prioritizes special interest groups at the expense of taxpayers

What are the top three challenges facing the voters you seek to represent?

High quality paying jobs; quality public school education and infrastructure; affordable housing

If elected, what will be your highest legislative priority?

As an educatior, my highest priority is obtaining federal, state, private individuals and corporations to assist in building better school facilities that our keiki deserve.

If elected, what can you do to improve the lives of your constituents?

Most people are not aware what our public officials are capable of doing on their behalf. As a U.S. Senator I represent our state at the federal level. If constituents has a problem with their Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid, these are federal programs, I would be able to look into the matter on their behalf in Washington DC. For example Denied benefits, social security payments are wrong, any problems should be directed to the US Senator’s office.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?

‘Ohana is very meaningful to me. It means I believe in the sanctity of life (prolife) and natural death (not assisted suicide). God and faith have have always been here in Hawai’i let us not forget.
