"The challenges our people currently face require leadership that will bring people together, lean completely into hard work, and prioritize people over politics."

As I talk with those from across our island, I fear that the solutions we need are not keeping up with the growing struggles our families face. The rising cost of living and housing, difficulty of finding a good job, and want for a safe and resilient community are pressing our families from all sides. The challenges our people currently face require leadership that will bring people together, lean completely into hard work, and prioritize people over politics. Our work is not complete until all of our community's needs are met, and my driving passion is improving the quality of life for you and your family.

I am humbled to currently serve on the Honolulu City Council, representing portions of Waipahu and Mililani; all of Wahiawā, the North Shore and Koʻolauloa; and portions of Koʻolaupoko. Each of our communities has unique needs, with solutions often found in the generational knowledge of each community's people. My experience has given me an appreciation for every Oʻahu community and grown my commitment to community-driven leadership that elevates the voices of those I serve.
