Aloha Everyone!
I want to extend my deepest respect and gratitude to you for aiding and inspiring my campaign for Puna. This campaign would not have been nearly as successful if it were not for your support. It was a long and strenuous four months, but the lessons I have learned and people I have met are more than worth the effort.
Although we did not make it past the primary, I feel as though we have won. The incumbent, Faye Hanohano, spent roughly $9,000 on the first leg of this election. This is almost 5 times the amount of money we have spent. If you boil it down to the numbers, she paid $4.50 per vote, while we spent only $1.50 per vote. That is a tremendous accomplishment for a 23-year-old facing off against union sponsorship and name recognition.
Hopefully, this campaign will serve as a message to our representatives: that they must act quickly, efficiently, and sincerely to bring Puna its due, or they risk being replaced. It is my sincere desire that Puna has the best representation possible in the legislature and we must all advocate for a strong voice.
For the time being, I will continue to work for Puna outside of the State government.
Again, Mahalo to each of you for your support and trust. Here is a list of people and businesses who have contributed to this campaign that I would like to recognize for their generosity and kindness:
