Ms. Kierkiewicz has shown us nothing at this point.
Driving home the other evening it struct me that Ashley has (or someone has) put a lot of effort into her campaign signs. Professionally designed, professionally photographed, the clever "Ashley 4 Puna" slogan (a play on words that she's both running in District 4 / Puna, and is for Puna). She has T-shirts too.
But yet, she's spent no time telling us her plans for Puna, and what she feels are her top priorities for Puna.
I don't know what usually compels a person to run for public office, but I'd like to think that in the course of their every day activities they see things around them that could be improved, or they feel they have some ideas that might make their extended neighborhood a better place to live. I'd like to think they arrived at their decision to run for office based on a set of clearly defined concepts and goals.
I'd feel more comfortable knowing a candidate would consider it more important to emphasize and lead off with those good ideas first, maybe then follow up and think to themselves, "if I'm really going to do this, bring my message to the people, I'll need need some well crafted yard signs and T shirts too". Perhaps Ashley may have placed the cart before the horse?
