Reason for Seeking Public Office:
"I want to restore faith and confidence in our government and the democratic process. People have become apathetic about the democratic process, especially our younger people. Things are not Pono! Ua Mau Ke'ea o Ka'aina i ka Pono! The life of this land needs to be perpetuated once again in righteousness!"
