Four candidates for Hawaii County mayor will speak at an AARP Hawaii forum today that will be broadcast on public access Na Leo Channel 55, naleo.tv/governmental55 and the AARP Hawaii Facebook page.
The candidates are Kimo Alameda, Breeani Kobayashi, Mitch Roth and Jr Tupa‘i. They will answer questions from AARP Hawaii and a live audience.
The forum starts at 6 p.m. at Aunty Sally’s Luau Hale, 799 Piilani St. in Hilo.
Walk-ins are welcomed but must sign in at the door.
“AARP Hawaii and Na Leo are presenting the forum as a public service to help voters get informed about the issues facing Hawaii County and the candidates who want to lead us,” said Keali‘i Lopez, AARP Hawaii state director.“We know that older voters often decide elections and we encourage the candidates to be aware of issues that matter to kupuna and encourage kupuna to let elected officials know what you think about the issues.”
