The TMT, OHA, and The General Election 11/6

[HereOnThePrimalEdge]

On your ballot next week you will find a slate of candidates for OHA. All residents of Hawaii can vote for OHA Trustees. In some election cycles only 30% of the ballots are marked with a vote for OHA candidates. The running joke is, if your last name starts with the letter A, you'll win, because so many people vote for the first name on the list:

In this election on Tuesday, November 6th there are three OHA candidates in favor of the TMT, or generally favorable:

OHA Trustee Candidates Who Support the TMT

OHA Oahu Resident Trustee Candidate:
Kalei Akaka (yes, supports TMT)

OHA At Large Trustee:
William Aila (yes, supports TMT)
Brendon Kaleiaina Lee (mostly supports TMT)

If 30% of voters indicate their choice on the OHA portion of the ballot, your single vote can potentially have the impact of three votes.

Remember, OHA was a supporter of the TMT until the Mauna Kea Access Road Blockade began. Then they changed their position in favor of a very vocal minority. Let's hope that after the election a new board at OHA is more representative of residents and Native Hawaiians.

72% of Native Hawaiians support the TMT
77% of Hawaii residents support the TMT
