I found Leilani to be an articulate candidate and was seriously considering her until she basically told the residents of the substandard subdivisions of Puna to go pound sand when it comes to getting any assistance from the state regarding our unpaved roads. She said private roads should not get any type of public funding - fuel tax assistance or any other source.
The question was clearly stated, so either she doesn't understand the issue (one of the top priorities of many Puna residents) or she understands and doesn't care to try to help her potential constituents. Either way, it was political suicide in my opinion.
