Q: The median price of a single-family home on Kaua‘i is over $1 million, and the county’s 2018 General Plan reported 44% of all households are cost-burdened. How will you address the affordable housing crisis in Kaua‘i County?
1. Put people of Kaua‘i first, by stopping corporate sprawl that inflates prices;
2. Tax breaks, incentives, and tax cuts for existing and new homeowners;
3. Create mobile housing, jobs and educational opportunities in those communities participating in our beautify Kaua‘i project;
4. Create tiny homes, single-family and duplex structures in our local farming communities that support our accelerated local sustainable food, medicine and shelter-sustainability programs that return decision-making sovereignty back to the county and the people and away from global governance;
5. Ease some of the regulatory restrictions that get passed on to homeowners by construction companies, food-processing plants or other industries without negatively impacting our eco or ahupua‘a systems, endangered species or burial sites.
Q: The coronavirus pandemic decimated the tourism industry Kaua‘i and the state are so reliant upon. Should Kaua‘i County make economic diversity a priority, and if so, how?
1. Focus more on cultural tourism provided by our local Kanaka/kupuna population that create working and education vacations for tourists, creates jobs, retains the culture and fills an educational need that creates marketable skills, self-determination and the restoration of our county and island;
2. Become the largest local sustainable food supplier to the point of exporting our abundance;
3. The installation of a local, people-owned, industrial hemp facility to create jobs, boost the economy and remove the toxins from our ‘aina that assists our accelerated local food sustainability vision;

5. The installation of a local, people-owned coconut factory to create jobs, boost the economy, and creates many buy-and-sell local options, as well as exports of local goods.
Q: Kaua‘i continues to look for a new landfill site, years after its search began. The clock is ticking: The Kekaha landfill is currently projected to reach capacity in January 2027. What is your preferred solution?
1. Cogeneration, also known as combined heat and power (CHP), projects use Land Fill Gas (LFG) to generate both electricity and thermal energy, usually in the form of steam or hot water using engines or turbines. The efficiency gains of capturing the thermal energy in addition to electricity generation can make this a job creation project. LFG can be upgraded to renewable natural gas (RNG), a high-Btu gas, through treatment processes by increasing its methane content and, conversely, reducing its CO2, nitrogen, and oxygen contents. RNG can be used in place of fossil natural gas, as pipeline-quality gas, compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG). The reality of climate change is more apparent than ever. The Kaua‘i County General Plan notes the island can expect local sea levels to rise by 3 feet, minimum, by the second half of this century.
How must the County adapt to this and other climate-related contingencies?
1. The County should focus on removing the toxins from our air, land, and water, first and foremost, that puts the safety of the people at risk on a daily basis. Climate change is Nature going through its normal adaptation and transition to the new age.
2. Nature provides us with all the natural tools we need to adapt with her. It is corporations, and global governance, looking to profit from this fear at the people’s expense. The people just need to focus on local sustainability issues, controlled by the people of Kauai, regarding the basic necessities of life. We have everything we need, here on Kauai, to be a complete container for local food sovereignty, and more, as we live life while others live in fear of death.
3. Climate change is a fear created by paid activists, for corporations and the elites, to move the local population off beachfront properties and prime lands, which they purchase every day.
4. Climate change activists and corporations have predicted climate disaster every decade, since I was born, and they were wrong every time, but they did get wealthy in the process.
Q: What is driving you to seek election, and why should voters give you their vote?
I will,
1. End the corruption, misinformation, and crimes against humanity being committed by our elected and appointed officials and hold accountable for their actions that put any of our people, in harm’s way.
2. Hire a full-time County Auditor for full transparency and accountability.
3. Terminate the 2012 County agreement with the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI), paving the way for corporate and global takeover of Kaua‘i County.
4. Protect the ‘aina and the people by creating programs to remove the toxins from our air, land, and water to ensure healthy food and natural plant medicine production that is good for the people and the soil.
5. Be honest with the people regarding faulty PCR tests, and known therapeutic cures for COVID-19, that are used in place of the experimental gene therapy program not approved by the FDA.
6. Return government to the people before all our Natural God-given Rights are infringed upon or usurped by corporations, globalists, and corrupt individuals for money, power, greed & control.
7. Prevent unconstitutional, and unlawful, proclamations, mandates, and edicts that destroyed the economy, small business, people’s health, and the lives of many in Kaua‘i County.
8. Stop the genocide of the Hawaiian people, and their children, who are being used in an experimental drug program, when they already have a 99.9% chance of surviving COVID.
9. Eliminate Crisis management decisions that violate the basic principles of sound judgment needed to run a successful business or government.
