Our islands and government are bought by Big Business. This is destroying our environment. We need new leadership to protect our precious home for the future generations. It's time for everyone to get involved! Grow food! Register to vote and shift the scales to create a healthy future! Malama 'Aina!FULL PROFILE »
Don Couch *
The trickiest issue is how to maintain a balance between protecting our quality of life, our unique blend of cultures and exceptional natural beauty, while simultaneously providing a vibrant economy that gives our residents the ability to afford to live in this very expensive place. It's a question of balance.FULL PROFILE »
Elle Cochran *
Several affordable housing projects have been approved and never built. I’m committed to extracting developer-promised affordable housing and jobs creation. Once built, I would like them to remain affordable in perpetuity (forever). We will never outgrow this housing crisis if we continue to build affordables that become market price units.FULL PROFILE »
Gladys Coelho Baisa *
Water in my opinion is the most important issue. It is key to all life, agriculture and development. We need to conserve, reuse and develop reliable capacity. We need to provide funding to install, maintain and expand our system to meet present and future needs. I fully support it.FULL PROFILE »

What is the most pressing quality of life issue, and what would you do about it? An increasing wealth disparity is the most pressing quality of life issue that hinders the economy, prevents homeownership, is a barrier to health care and education, and makes it difficult to malama the Earth. We must aggressively provide quality education for all, livable wages, and affordable housing!FULL PROFILE »
Joseph G. Blackburn II
What is the most pressing quality of life issue, and what would you do about it? Economic SUSTAINABILTY: Can we proposer when the cost of living is rapidly going up? Increased charges for water, sewer, trash, taxes etc. When will we reach the tipping point when our children can no longer survive on our island? We need an economy that protects our native environment.FULL PROFILE »
Ka‘ala Buenconsejo
Housing. Maui County is in extreme need of affordable housing and rentals. We need to address our workforce housing bills and other ordinances set during our housing boom. Although the bills and intentions were needed at the time it has caused our housing market to go stagnate.FULL PROFILE »
Michael “Mike” Victorino
Affordable housing is a very pressing quality of life issue. Our homeless situation is a stark reminder that families cannot find affordable places to rent, let alone purchase. My own emphasis is to continue to develop the workforce housing requirements and make it more applicable and reasonable.FULL PROFILE »
Mike Molina
We need to address our aging water infrastructure to continue providing safe drinking water and to reduce water being wasted due to leaks. Water rate increases will have to be considered in order to address our infrastructure needs.FULL PROFILE »
Mike White *
Homeownership that is affordable to residents continues to be a pressing issue. At its root, cost is a function of supply and demand. Therefore, to lower costs, the Council will have to work with developers to create more economically viable housing options and streamline approval processes without compromising smart growth.FULL PROFILE »
Nick Nikhilananda
The stratification of the community, with high end homes and commercial development in stark contrast to the lives of many local families. Without a living wage, too many individuals spend much of their time making enough to live, with visitors and the increasing wealthy residents affecting our quality of life.FULL PROFILE »
