Priority Issues:

With fewer agricultural and blue collar jobs for Central Maui working families, Senator Keith-Agaran believes focused training and key infrastructure construction and expansion are key priorities to bringing well-paying jobs closer to home. Specifically, he envisions a growing health and science campus building on the proximity of Maui Memorial Medical Center, the Kaiser Foundation facilities, the Community Clinic of Maui, and UH-Maui College. He also believes that the State, county and private sectors should partner to reserve and create quality affordable workforce housing.
