• My vote is not for sale. I answer strictly to you. I’m a retired 22-year Navy veteran, a single mother of seven, and a tutu of eleven. I take $0 in corporate developer money and $0 from Super PACs. I am running for the Kahului seat on the Maui County Council to bring real discipline, accountability, and backbone to the Council. Within my first 100 days, I will introduce targeted county property tax relief and master-leasing incentives for resident mom-and-pop owners who rent long-term to

• I woke up this morning to a message telling me to “stuff [my] fat mouth with purple poi” because my campaign to protect our island is supposedly “anti-Capitalism and growth”. That comment is exactly how outside speculators and establishment defenders view us when we stand up for ourselves. Let’s talk about what outside developers call “growth.” To them, “growth” means hoarding 21% of our county’s housing stock for transient vacation rentals while local families are forced to sleep in their c

• The recent confirmation from the Air Force Secretary that the U.S. has deployed weapons in space makes one thing undeniably clear: the military build-up atop Haleakalā isn’t about science, it is about war. The Air Force is planning up to seven more telescopes and sensors on Haleakalā. Haleakalā is the piko, a sacred site in a conservation district, not a military target for orbital space warfare. Mounting tracking instruments to feed targeting data into space weapons desecrates our sacred mou

• Standing on the asphalt at 6:30 AM waving signs in Kahului, you see the real Maui pass right in front of you. You see the tradespeople heading to job sites, the nurses wrapping up 12-hour graveyard shifts, the hotel workers driving to their first of two jobs, and the young moms taking their keiki to school, praying that their gas tank holds out until payday. When people honk and throw a shaka from their truck windows, it isn’t just politeness, it’s a collective roar. It’s working families look

• Out canvassing neighborhoods this week, my team heard that folks are tired of politics and that It feels like nothing ever changes, no matter who gets elected. If you feel disillusioned, exhausted, or checked out, I hear you and I don’t blame you. For decades, we’ve watched politicians make grand promises on the campaign trail, only to turn around and vote for the corporate developers, mega-resorts, and off-island special interests funding their races. When candidates are bought before they ev

• When I talk story with Kānaka across our island, I hear a deep generational hurt. So many of our people look at a ballot and think, why bother? The American system overthrew our kingdom, robbed us of our resources, and priced us out of our home. Voting has never once saved us. I don’t argue with that pain because history proves it right. For over 130 years, our people have watched local politics protect corporate developers, mega-resorts, and off-island investors while Kānaka are left sleeping
