CORRUPTION IN: Government, Family Court, Police department, Politics, Our streets.

Modernize how we do our daily activities. Better Networking. Streamline Government processes ie. Satellite City Hall. DPP, DMV, Education, and so much more.

We need to elect Sheriff, Police Cheif to return accountability. More elected not appointed positions. Neighborhood boards do not work. We need more than 1 mayor on Oahu and more than 1 City Council Need an elected Election Commissioner. Traffic, Utilities in Honolulu have been Neglected. Unfunded Liabilities Finally, settle the dispute with the overthrow of the Kingdom. Fulfill promises and treaties that were made. To unite the people of Hawaii again. Diversify our economy. Restore local Farming and agriculture. Bring manufacturing to Hawaii. Make Hawaii the Hub Of the Pacific.

so many of the founding fathers, and the patriots, families that fought, died and survived to make this great country what it has become and should be. We need to Restore the basics and our foundation and our base principles. We need to step up with not just vision but to really see what tommorow looks like for future generations.

determined, not just vision I see it already finished, I listen and learn, passionate about everything I do

Bible, the answer is there

Wow, never thought about it. I am just happy to be me.

It is a long way to the top, ACDC ( It is harder than it looks)

Life is a struggle. You will find strength in your weakness if you look, and ask God to help you change it.

Everything falls on the Mayor's shoulders. The people look up the Mayor for so many things. The Mayor should have the peoples needs first and foremost.

we are our biggest enemy. The division is the method that will destroy us. We need to unite and make the tough decisions together. Then there will be less problems to face.
