I represent the organic homesteading community of Big Island. I share your dreams and I hit the same potholes in our roads. You’ve probably seen me playing music on our streets, serving those in need, and listening to people from all walks of life. I believe we want the same things: prosperous, safer, and freer communities with our freedom protected from government interference. I decided to run because Hawaii needs representatives who are not afraid to confront corruption, and will stand up for what’s right.
Together, we will send a clear message to the failing two-party system: “Do better.”
I’ll give two:
Costs of living & lawlessness.
1. Cost of living: I have a plan that would give rapid relief for Hawaii from the crippling regulatory costs of the Jones Act, which stops us from being competitive. Ensuring there is at least one port exempt from the Jones Act would set the stage for an economic reversal for Hawaii that would bring new industries, jobs, opportunity, and money to our local economies.
Problem #2 is public lawlessness. To address this, I would decentralize the state policing power to elected county sheriffs, reform the Judiciary, and end immunity racketeering.
1. A free-trade port: if we exempted a single port from the Jones act by administrating a Port under the old kingdom law, (which would make it a “non-US port”) this would give fast relief from crippling shipping regulations, make exports affordable again, granting direct access to international trade, and allowing for local shipping.
We should be the shining economic jewel of trade & business between the east & west.
2. Stop corporate regulatory capture: I.e.: TVR’s aren’t driving housing prices up, but banning them helps the tourism industry; which IS driving prices up, with state help.
1. Dramatically reduce the size & cost of our bloated government by giving executive powers back to the counties.
2. Cut waste, fraud, and abuse, which is currently eating away a huge portion of our budget.
3. My proposal for a Hawaiian port would be a large & diverse source of revenue, and would greatly reduce logistics costs in any emergency.
4. Restore the Rule of Law: we’re burning cash by playing catch-and-release with criminals, and playing hot-potato with public accountability.
5. Introduce an independent local currency that is backed by real assets like gold: we need sound money.
