LIHU‘E — U.S. Rep. Kaiali‘i “Kai” Kahele announced Michael M. Contrades has been chosen to serve as the congressman’s field representative on Kaua‘i.
“It is extremely important to me that the people of Hawai‘i’s 2nd Congressional District have accessible representation when there is a need for help at the federal level,” Kahale said in the announcement.
“I am pleased to have Mike aboard to assist with that. Before joining our office, Mike had a distinguished career in the Kaua‘i Police Department, where he retired as deputy chief. He is a valuable asset to our team, and I am certain he will be a strong advocate for the people of Kaua‘i.”
Contrades is a temporary hire in the Mayor’s Office, and recently was approved by the county Board of Ethics for this position.
He was born and raised in Hawai‘i and is a graduate of the Kamehameha Schools Kapalama Campus, and earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice, graduating summa cum laude from Bethel University, while working full time.
He further graduated from the Federal Bureau of Investigation Law Enforcement Executive Development Seminar, and currently serves as a board member with the Kaua‘i United Way and the Hawai‘i Health Systems Corporation Kaua‘i Region.
Kahele also announced Stephanie Ohigashi as the liaison to Maui residents, Gene Ross Davis being accessible to Moloka‘i residents, and Joelle Aki Aoki as the field representative on Lana‘i.
This is a break from tradition, where each island in the Maui County has a designated congressional field representative and member of the congressional staff.
“It is important to me that all residents of Hawai‘i’s 2nd congressional district have a direct contact to their federal representative in Congress to help address their needs and concerns,” Kahele said.
“I am pleased to welcome Stephanie, Gene Ross, and Joelle to our team. They all have demonstrated a commitment to public service, and will serve as strong advocates for the communities they represent.”
Also selected to field-representative positions were Hanale Lee Loy for West Hawai‘i and Steve Li is the field representative for East Hawai‘i.
Hawai‘i’s 2nd Congressional District covers Hawai‘i Island, Maui, Moloka‘i, Lana‘i, Kaua‘i, Ni‘ihau, and the rural parts of O‘ahu, including Waimanalo, Kailua, Kane‘ohe, the North Shore and the Leeward Coast.

The worst Devils on Kauai wore/wear Kauai Police Uniforms.
Always knew Kauai corruption runs deep, thanks for more proof!
Poor Choice
More people know about that dude then he thinks.
Your reputation is known by those who know.
Dr. Jykll and Mr. Hyde blue chip that rose through the ranks faster than a speeding bullet.
Who are you and what master do you serve because you cannot serve two masters.
Read Sunny Skies, Shady Characters as well as KPD Blues, Superferry Chronicles, Hell-bent and dozens of pertinent books and the fake state accomplices. I agree absolutely with commentators, and because i have lived it since 1958 Fort DeRussy(Hickham AFB), as well as 1970 to present, medical career WH/KMG, where another Contrades, Medical Records director, Kam-school grad was found coder-medicare incompetant 1.2 million $ ding.
Make no mistakes here people. There is at least one KPD officer clear from the debris left by local mobsters B.W., union boss mogals, JM from Pittsburgh, now texas, and of course the “guilty power couple stolen mailbox fraud”, TIP of the iceberg.
Retroactively and across the board, since before sugar barons, it all has been Game On. Militaro-Politico-Judicio judges, lawyers, bailiffs, sheriff, police, DLNR, DHHL, OHA, mayors, council, police commission et all, corporates, Z, O, E, and CCP, that still need to “fess up”!
Release Atta Brun, drop the charges, as he was set-up by the various combinations of fraud collusion and life-long criminality via known to us individuals. TGI back issue resources and living it is key to recovery, except for those that have been kakked or made to muzzle due to fear of being similarly characterized or dismissed.
One example of “kill haole and/or kill popolo days” are dozens if not hundreds deceased, like the couple return from LV murder-suicide; TGI reported “instant karma” shark bite as did a leak out from WH.
Author Benish, The Fifth Seal, outlines other victims, where after Iniki, 4-year old Lacey Woolsey rape-murder Anini and the wrong brother incarcerated all these years, Attorney PT, or magazine cover story attorney NB, money laundering a trustfund through HCF to RGTG bar, out of Hale Opio office building.
Just like captain Cook, these folks got airports, bridges, highways named in their honor! Finally, Read Kinzer, Overthrow, and see where “Dulles” fits into this mess made by U.S.A., now chasing everyones tail but their own guilt! Everyone is guilty for allowing the shibai to continue! Game Over is here and so is the one Master!

Michael Contrades rose through the ranks rapidly because he proved himself to be an exemplary officer; intelligent, diligent, thoughtful and insightful. I personally had requested his aid when he was a lieutenant to solve several problems in the neighborhood and he responded quickly and effectively. We need more officers like him. Congratulations on your new assignment!
