The Issues:  Good Government

​I believe that government should help lift all people.  Government should be responsive to the needs in the community, be results-oriented, and be transparent.  Conflicts of interest should be avoided.  When I was on the Kaua`i County Council, I incorporated an anti-nepotism policy in the county council rules.  As a former council member and as a State Representative, I recuse myself from voting on matters when I have a conflict of interest.  ​
