Policies I Will Fight For

Every other candidate merely says what everybody needs: lower costs, affordable housing, safety, etc.

However, I am the only candidate with specific policy proposals that can achieve those needs.

  • Active duty service members in the military receive an average of $3700/month, tax-free, to be spent on rent or mortgage payments. The landlords know this, so that means the rent floor for a lot of rental units start at $3700 per month. That works out to $45400 in one year. The annual minimum salary in Hawai’i is $33280. If elected to Congress, I will work to end the tax-free active duty housing allowance so that out of state military do not unfairly compete with locals in O’ahu’s limited housing market.

  • O’ahu’s habitable land is already much smaller than many cities on the mainland, but military properties account for 30-35% of habitable land. Despite the vast acreage that the military owns on O’ahu, only 60% of active duty service members are housed on bases. Local housing gets burdened with the other 40%, which total about 20000. Adopting a policy of 100% on-base housing for active duty service members would lower housing costs for locals.

  • Almost all active duty service members remain officially a resident of their home state. Therefore, their state income taxes go to their mainland state of residence and not Hawai’i.

  • You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.

  • 3 terms, the length of a senate seat.

  • The current number of U.S. Representatives is limited to 435 by an almost 100 year old law. As of 2026, that means Hawai’i has one representative per 700000 people. Such a large ratio of constituents to representative fails to serve the needs of the people adequately. The neighbor islands all have to share a representative with the west side and north shore of O’ahu. If elected, I will work to pass a new Apportionment Act that requires states to have 1 representative per 100000 constituents. For Hawai’i that would mean 10 representatives for O’ahu, 2 for Big Island, 1 for Kaua’i, and 1 for Maui, Moloka’i, and Lana’i. Each Congressperson would be more representative of their constituents. Community needs would be better served. More everyday citizens can participate in federal office. Political ad spending and donations would be diluted.
