I would truly appreciate your take on the candidates. I know that we all have the right to vote, but I try not to vote in a race where I don't know the skinny. I don't want to accidentally vote against the interests of people who know more than I do about it.

I appreciate the call to vote though.
So who stands for what and who has come through and who has not? How do I find out?

Here is a good basic take on what the OHA candidates stand for, on certain issues:

Personally, (thanks for asking, but I'm just one vote) I want OHA to clean house from top to bottom and return to the initial intent of OHA.

I'm only voting for one person, Mililani Trask. The rest of the candidates are either sitting Trustees, or their staff, for the most part, with a few thrown in by other Trustee(s) who are "retiring".

It will be very interesting to see as OHA deals with issues like nation building/reinstating (whatever they're calling it today), and Kakaako development, lease for the TNT on Mauna Kea, etc.

There is a movement, undercurrent, or gathering of kanaka maoli who would like to see OHA abolished, along with DHHL.

We shall see.
