Society is in a state of social, emotional, and spiritual crisis.  

 

Our district is home to some of the hardest working people in Hawaii — and some of the most overlooked.

​

We have two of Oahu's largest public housing communities right here: Mayor Wright Homes and Kuhio Park Terrace. We have immigrant families from the Marshall Islands, Samoa, Tonga, the Philippines, and beyond who are living in fear of what the federal government might do next. We have workers pulling double shifts — the Amazon warehouse worker, the DoorDash driver making $1.75 an hour after taxes and expenses — and still coming home wondering how they're going to make rent.

These are not invisible people. These are our people.

​

For too long, the decisions that shape our neighborhood — where housing gets built, which businesses move in, how our streets are policed — have been made without truly listening to the people who live here and feel the consequences every day.

 

I'm running because I do feel those consequences. I was raised by an immigrant. I know what it feels like to work hard and still feel like the system wasn't built for you. I want District 28 to have a voice in that room — someone who will fight to make sure the development coming to our neighborhood benefits us, that our streets are safe enough to enjoy, and that our families are protected no matter where they came from.

​

You deserve a representative who listens and shows up for you every single day.
