How can any one say James Weatherford did not take a position on issues? He seemed to have a well thought out position on every issue with a long often technical explaination of why he held that position.
Greggor is also taking positions after talking with people and researching them. If he dosn't know something he says so, how refreshing, and will patiently listen to all you have to say, also refreshing. By the next time you see him he has done his homework and can discuss it with you, with facts and considered opinions from both points of view. He learns very fast and connects with people naturally, which is important as a peoples representative.
How do you define "highly qualified"?
James Weatherford has a PhD in economics, has worked in developing countries around the world, he teaches at the University, and is a local farmer. He has been involved with numerious community groups.
Greggor Ilagan grew up on the Big Island. He put in six years in the Air National Guard, trained in satellite telemetry and radio communications. He is persuing a degree in accounting and was working for the University as a web site developer before seeking office. He is full of energy and hence energizes young people to get involved.
Fred Blas devoted a lifetime to changing tires, (apparently a huge plus for a candidate in Puna). He has tirelessly (no pun intended) leaned on tis truck and watched people clean up along the road in Puna for many years.
I am curious what qualities you seek.
