 policy focus

Our council plays a vital role in our ability to tackle the challenges ahead by affecting the local laws that govern both the social and financial framework in which we operate. My focus is on policies that can help increase home price affordability, increase economic prosperity, develop safer communities, restore healthier environmental systems, and develop a more equitable life here on Kauai.

The guiding documents that I reference are the Kaua’i General Plan and our Community Plans.

economy

Policy focuses:

• Direct improvements towards county technologies that enable businesses and communities to be more efficient and connected

• Help focus county procurement to support locally owned businesses

• Leverage multi-modal legislation to increase lower cost transit ability and reduce transportation costs

• Enable agriculture innovation and collaboration through supportive policies

• Support entrepreneurial endeavors and small business development through supportive county policies

We hit the bottom of the barrel as regards to our economic and health challenges during this pandemic. We need to shed our preconceived notion of our old economy and evolve our systems to better serve our current and future needs.

homes

Policy focuses:

• Streamline policies for home development processes in county systems

• Support existing neighborhoods for additional dwelling units, tiny homes, multi-family homes

• Modify current policies that restrict new construction or redevelopment in town core centers that focus on residential/commercial combinations

The island challenges always stem on whether or not a local family can find a home. Re-imagining existing spaces with existing infrastructure is our immediate and long-term solution. This not only allows for smart growth with reduced environmental impacts, it keeps costs down allowing for affordability to be a priority. 

environment

Policy focuses:

• Continue to support energy efficient systems and policies that enable businesses and homes to be self sustainable

• Encourage home and business development in town core centers

• Execute the Climate Action Plan

My focus is in continuing the efforts in zero waste efforts, renewable energy, town core centers, and multi-modal traveling. We must become the first fully sustainable community in order to take care of our earth properly.
