My vision and pledge for Hawaii is simple: to work uncompromisingly for an infusion of political and economic literacy resulting in an appreciation and honoring of individual Constitutional rights and responsibilities.

This in turn will manifest itself in a limited, fiscally accountable government that lives well within the means of those taxpayers supporting it, as well as an incentive-driven, inclusive business climate, lowered tax and regulatory burden, and recognition of an unfettered, private, independent, competititve market place for all societal activities, including, but not limited to, education, transportation, energy, health care and housing.

Realization of this vision will guarantee a future Hawaii recognized as a beacon for freedom, competitive commerce, and opportunity, yielding greater economic diversification, enhanced individual choices, and a higher standard of living for all residents of our state.
