Mahalo for campaign support
I cannot thank all of you enough for the hard work, love, respect, and support you have given me for the years of my public service, not to mention in this past election. I am doing well and am satisfied that the election is over. Although I did not win, it was not anyone’s fault and certainly not yours. We all did the best we could.
I ran a clean and honest campaign and told the truth about my accomplishments — not everyone does that — and my future hopes for all of us such as the new hospital, higher education here, truly affordable housing, and solving the homeless problem. And those issues still need to be addressed no matter who occupies the Senate seat so I hope that you hold your senator and all of the other state and county elected officials to account for what does or does not get completed.
I will continue to work as a civilian for the best interests of the people and especially for you in this Senatorial district. I will always adore you for your assistance and love in this and previous elections.
God Bless each of you and may your lives be enriched forever!

To all politicians. Show us how much you love our island home and take down your signs.

Gabbard star in Congress
When I see and listen to Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, I don’t see a Democrat or a Republican. I see a courageous person who speaks out despite the vicious attacks from the warmongers who seem to be hell-bent on creating another Cuban Missile Crisis in Ukraine.
Tulsi’s informative statements helped keep us from WWIII over Syria. She is a hopeful star who gives me hope that there is at least one member of Congress who knows war and knows that you don’t get into it lightly, especially just to make a few people richer.
