Reason for Seeking Public Office:
A couple years ago, I returned to my home island to serve the place that means so much to me. I have always counted on returning home; but for many young adults, this decision is not often an easy one. In fact, a vast majority of my high school classmates have moved away to the mainland with no plans to return. More economic opportunities on Maui are needed so that our youth will secure good jobs and continue to have the option to raise their families in the same community that they were brought up in--it's a basic societal expectation. This is one of the driving forces behind my decision to run in my first election in 2012 and the reason why I continue to push forward.
