Aloha Everyone!
I realized that there are a few questions on here that haven’t been addressed yet, so here goes…
“What would you do locally to make sure that Puna residents don't have to drive all the way into Hilo for an Emergency room visit?”
With its growing population, Hawai’i needs immediate political actions to mitigate our healthcare availability crisis. I believe communities must have the power to decide for themselves whether there is a need for medical facilities. Therefore, as Puna’s Representative, I will work to eliminate the Certificate of Need Requirement that is currently preventing our district from establishing a 24-hour medical center. I am sure we can all agree that there is definitely a need in Puna!
Here in Puna, we especially suffer from a shortage of qualified medical providers. The primary contributor to this crisis is our inability to retain young healthcare professionals upon graduation from nursing and medical schools. I plan to introduce legislation, which allocates loan repayment funds to recent medical school graduates working in medically underserved communities. I also support medical residency programs, which have been proven to attract youthful, active, and compassionate physicians.
“I'd like to hear your thoughts on the whole Pakalolo issue.”
I must stand with the people of Puna on this issue. An overwhelming majority of Puna residents support the medical use of marijuana. I promise to represent this will and need in the State House of Representatives. I also believe that Green Harvest is an invasion of personal rights and privacy, and I will vote to end this trespass against and criminalizing of Hawaii’s residents.
“How do you propose getting your Alma Matter, Pahoa High School, a fricking football team again.... (yes, this is important to how I vote!)”
The impenetrable levels of bureaucracy prevent social progress within our schools, and therefore, I will work to ensure greater community involvement and power in the decision-making process of public education. An amplification of Puna’s voice in Pahoa School makes getting a football team entirely possible!
My long-term goal for public education is to decentralize the DOE while maintaining financial support from the general funds. This will allow communities to manage their schools while ensuring equal funding for all of Hawaii’s students.
Please let me know if there are any more questions I can answer for you.
Mahalo and take care,
