Mahalo, Hawaii!

We have reached the end of a journey in my campaign for the United States Senate–one that I am proud to have shared with you, my fellow travelers.

This truly was a grassroots effort. We didn’t have Dan Inouye’s resources or his name recognition, but we had a message that resonated with the voters in Hawaii. Our message of fiscal responsibility and accountability; of transparency; and of a respect for—and a return to– traditional values resonated with voters.

The experts didn’t give us a chance. Everyone thought we were crazy to mount this challenge to the great Dan Inouye—in fact, we even had a little fun with that in one of our early commercials—but at the end of the day, we made our voices heard and we sent a message not just to Dan, but to the entire Congress.

We may not be going to Washington, D.C. ourselves, but our message certainly is and that is what is truly important.

After this election, Senator Inouye is going to think twice about rubber-stamping wasteful spending requests; about handing out earmarks to special interests; and about ignoring or marginalizing the values that matter to the people of Hawaii. If that happens—WHEN that happens—that will be a victory for us all to savor! We may not have won this election, but our campaign was a success!!!!

Now is not the time to give up. Now is the time to build upon the success of this campaign. We have worked too hard and come too far to stop making our voices heard. The only way to hold our representatives in Washington, D.C. accountable is to continue to press our message. Stay involved. Stay active. Let your Senators and your Congressmen know that you are paying attention and that this race that we have run together was just the beginning, we’re not going away!

Let me take this time to extend my gratitude and thanks to everyone who supported our effort by giving your time, your talent and your resources. Let me thank my lovely wife, Tula, my three daughters and two sons, who have endured months of my campaigning, and above all, let me thank the Lord, who have me the inspiration and courage to take on this charge.

Mahalo and God Bless.

Aloha! Welcome.

I believe this year represents a critical turning point in government leadership for our nation, and especially Hawaii.   As the elections in November draw near, my desire is for you to clearly understand my values and the experiences I have had in serving the people of our great state.  As I travel throughout the islands I look forward to meeting you and dialoguing about the issues that matter most to each of us.

This website will facilitate that dialogue and I look forward to hearing from you personally. Again, mahalo for visiting, and I hope this campaign will provide you with a clear choice as you decide who will represent Hawaii to the nation in the U.S. Senate for the next six years.
