Our Vision

To have a state government that is honest, transparent and responsive to its citizens.

Our Mission

To change the trajectory of Hawai‘i by restoring faith in government and establishing the Hawaiian Islands as a place future generations choose to call home.

Education 

Empower our public schools and university, focus on 21^st century skills and learning, and ensure schools provide a healthy and safe learning environment.

Housing & Homelessness    

Build homes that people can afford, including rentals, to address the needs of those entering the work force. Renovate the state’s public housing facilities.  Transition the homeless from sidewalks, beaches, and parks; provide them with the necessary services so they can attain more permanent housing.  On O‘ahu, identify state lands near transit stations for housing, employment centers, daycare, senior centers, and community facilities.                                            

Health

Create a 21^st century health system that improves access, treatment, and affordability for all Hawai‘i residents, beginning with our children, honoring our elders, and including rural communities on all islands.

Effective, Efficient, and Open Government     

Restore the public’s trust in government by committing to reforms that increase efficiency, reduce waste, and improve transparency and accountability.

• Eliminating unfunded liabilities (pension and health benefits)
• Government efficiency (converting to paperless systems, new payroll system, IT dept. overhaul, credit card changes, etc.)
• Rehabilitate old buildings for state use

Economy

Promote economic diversification and policies that support growth, including attracting more air carriers to Hawai‘i, expanding the U.S. Customs Pre-clearance program, and upgrading and expanding broadband infrastructure. Recognize and support renewable energy initiatives and the military as crucial pillars of Hawai‘i’s economy.

Energy

Ensure a 100 percent renewable energy future in which we work together as a state, focusing on making solar and other technologies available for all.

Agriculture

Double local food production by 2020; develop water and energy resources to support this effort. Provide loans for farmers and more land for agriculture.

Environment

Foster environmental stewardship from mountain to sea. Protect and more efficiently use our fresh water supply. Provide state lands for public use and enjoyment.

Native Hawaiians

Honor, respect, and promote Native Hawaiian culture and sustainability;

Support the Native Hawaiian community’s ongoing efforts for a Hawaiian-based governance structure.

Traffic

Support the development and completion of public transit systems, including bus and rail. Deploy traffic mitigation initiatives to reduce congestion on our roadways.

Taxes

Modernize our tax system, increase efficiency for taxpayers and hold accountable those who do not pay their taxes.
