Why do I support Angel Pilago?
Leadership -- his capabilities and successes have been demonstrated on the Hawaii County Council, in the US Supreme Court, and in the US Army. He is an accomplished legislator, a citizen-defender of rights, and a bonafide hero.
Integrity -- the positions taken have been to get developers to pay their own way and to allow access for gathering and perpetuation of the host culture have been acts of of standing up for empowerment of those without power; and this has left him outside the power loop of the big-dollar campaign donators. He, and he alone, among Kenoi, Inouye, Higa, and himself, is not obligated to that power loop.
Our community is not well represented in that power loop.
