Hawaii needs authentic candidates who will consistently put the Public Good and Public Interest First. We need candidates who are not asked to run by their employers, lobbyists or corporate interests or self-promotion.
We need authentic and independent candidates who are not vulnerable or susceptible to corruption or self-interest, and Status Quo.
We need independent candidates who will consistently be bold, be fair, and be thorough and analytical in their decision-making and not simply join the crowd and succumb to peer pressure.
We need candidates who will consistently remember that we live on an island with finite resources. We need candidates who must appreciate and invest in human capital, fiscal accountability, the environment, cultural, social and economic equity, and all other essential and sustainable needs of island living.
We must protect and promote clean water, clean air, clean soil, clean food, and a clean government. We must think of the future and Hawaii’s children and their children. We must put Hawaii and our Residents First!
Elections 2022 is quite messed-up and confusing. There are boundaries changes. When it happens this way, it tends to benefit the Status Quo. Here are some important information to note:
- ALL positions on the State Legislature are OPEN this elections because of the Reapportionment.
- The Honolulu City Council has vacancies for District 2,4,6,8
- Use this Website as your guide. If you don’t understand anything, call them. They’re paid by YOU.
- You can pull nomination papers now. The Office will provide you more info to follow.
- The Deadline to file for your Candidacy is June 7, 2022.
- The Website says that Mail-in Ballots will be in the mail for the AUGUST 13, 2022 PRIMARY by July 26, 2022. I would strongly suggest you expect the ballots in the mail by July 15, 2022. People start voting quickly. I’m saying this because at the 2020 Elections, the Office of Elections spent so much money advertising and telling the public that ballots will be in the mail in LATE July. Even Frank Delima kept saying “LATE July”. But the public began receiving their ballots on July 15, 2020. July 15 is MID July! This switcheroo negatively affected grassroots candidates with limited funds because some had to choose their mailings and were timing their delivery towards LATE July.
- General Elections is November 8, 2022. Voters receive their ballots in the mail for the General Election by October 21, 2022. Again, beware of the ballots in the mail dates.
- In other words, candidates are in crunch time. It again favors those with name recognition or incumbents but have no fear. Go for it and participate in democracy!
- Stand up and step up. We need YOU!
