Should there be additional restrictions on development in Kakaako? Why?
It would depend on the type of restrictions being suggested. I support job growth and support our local construction industry and small businesses that are vital to the success and development of Kakaako. Developing the urban core and preserving agricultural are a priority of mine.
What is your one big idea?
Promoting tourism throughout the Asia Pacific and expanding our relationships with our Asian partners (China/Taiwan) to promote Hawaiʻi as a focal point between east and west.
