Pat’s Priorities

Save Our Keiki

Hawaii’s keiki are struggling with physical and mental conditions in unprecedented numbers. Over half suffer from chronic disorders. More than a quarter are diabetic or prediabetic. Many are born to single mothers. If elected I will work to bring the causes of these preventable problems to light and take action to reverse them.

Red Hill Contamination

Red Hill contamination continues to threaten, and not just south Oahu’s drinking water. We must keep a careful eye on the decommissioning process.

Save Our Adults Too!

Adults in Hawaii are facing an alarming increase in serious health conditions, such as diabetes, prediabetes and Alzheimer’s, which stem from eating highly processed food, insufficient exercise and inadequate sleep. Most people don’t realize the deteriorating state of their health. As your state senator, I will press for access to fresh, local foods, expanded health education, and greater public awareness.

Escalating Condo Fees

Hawaii condominium owners are facing financial pressures from insurance premiums, which have increased as much as six to ten times, and escalating maintenance fees. Monthly condo fees often rival mortgage payments. As a state senator I will focus on legislative actions that can restrain these expenses.

Choice, Not Mandates

The Covid mandates on injections and masks, with much bullying by our city, state and national governments who followed the “experts,” resulted in unprecedented losses of our American freedoms. People were faced with losing their jobs and not being able to provide for their families if they didn’t take the experimental shots or wear masks at work. If another hyped pandemic comes down the pike I will fight to keep everyone’s right to choice.
