Campaigning at the Keaau bottleneck

[Rob Tucker]

You may not enjoy it but you may have to put up with it as is isn't going away any time soon. Try to just think of the fact that Puna is and wants to remain a rural district. What you are seeing happens for a few weeks every couple years. Traffic slows at the bottleneck whether or not Emily or others are there. She shows up for the rush hour as will others as the election season moves on.

In many locations people have never seen elected officials or candidates or know what they look like. In it's Hawaiian style, campaign roadside waving puts a face with a name. There are many more substantial things to get upset about.

It is what it is. If you moved here and find it unusual I think it best to just relax with it. It isn't going away.
