Personal statement:
I believe that I would like to be part of the process of insuring that native Hawaii's are represented and that they should be recognized as a group with all rights and privileges. Even though I live on the main land, I still consider myself a native Hawaiian with ties to the native community in the island. I will do my best to represent the interest of native Hawaiians.
