I am proud to announce my candidacy for State Senator, representing Hawaii's 10th Senate District (Kaimuki, Kapahulu, Palolo, Maunalani Heights, St. Louis Heights, Moʻiliʻili, Ala Wai). I aspire to serve my state and constituents with a new, independent voice on the issues that matter most to our ʻāina and diverse communities. With deep family roots in Oahu and Kona, my family has been in Hawai'i for more than three generations.

As I served in the Marine Corps on active duty and I continue to serve in the reserves, I have long been passionate about civic participation and doing my part for my country and community. I am running as an independent candidate in a one-party state in order to inspire REAL CHANGE and better solutions to local issues that matter to Hawai'i residents. Your contribution will help an outsider like myself bring fresh and accountable leadership to state government. I believe with transparent decision-making and smart policies, we can build and protect a sustainable, dynamic Hawaii that can be enjoyed for generations to come.

Mahalo and thank you for your support!
