"The candidate I want to be is a Guide, Leader, Captain Representative, Mouthpiece, a Voice for you. I Look forward to leadership and making things happen and becoming the spirit of a new maui and new south beach, south shore, south side, Riviera and a community you can be proud of the remaking. One small step, for a new voice, one large step, for a better community. I am not Cookie Cutter, but an Outside The Box thinker that says a new Paradigm is on our Horizon for Maui County to Prepare For Our Sustainable Future, but every year, Day, Minute we Wait adds costs, prohibits its implementation as claimed. I say we need to have Inspiration, Leadership, Resilience, Be willing to make and take the Hard Path, that’s me… This New Leadership needs to be what a New Kihei will transform to, Reasoning’s, the New, New High School, Master Plan. The new Shopping Center of Piliani, the New Invisioned Walea and Makena and independently the harbor ocean access at Maalea."
