Very interesting meeting last night and got to see many old friends. Before going there I thought that it would be a piece of cake to pick the person for state rep after hearing all four in the same place. Now I’m not so sure.[?]
Fred Blass was his energetic self as usual, and all that know Fred know that he will do his best to help Puna. If there is something physical to be done in the community you don’t even have to ask Fred. Probability is that he will already have plans to take care of it, but is he equipped for the state’s hornets nest? If he is elected I believe that the state house is going to have a surprise. Knowing Fred he will probably be out mowing the state capital lawn before and after of his scheduled meetings.[

Faye Hanohano actually was present and it was a pleasure to see her. She made no reference to the last two years of what she has accomplished. That speaks for itself.[
]
Anthony Marzi was quite impressive to say the least. This young man has the making for a great politician. He is highly polished for such a young age and his future in politic is assured if he stays the coarse. I found his ideas bright and his manor of delivery to be admired. I believe that he will be the Democratic choice when all the dust of this primary settles.[
]
Steve Sparks is a very interesting man with strong convictions and it is my option he would fill the position as state rep to actually try and make some changes. I’m not sure if he will be capable enough to buck the state machine being a Democrat. Most state reps are Democrats and want new bodies to just go along with their existing policies. Much like Faye has done and accomplished nothing for Puna so far.[8D]
If I were Fred’s campaign manager I would try and advise to his people to vote for the person in the primary that Fred feels he has the best chance against in the general election. In my humble option that would be Faye Hanohano. Steve or Anthony may be too strong for him to run against.[^]
