| Description | Why are you running for Congress, and what do you have to offer that sets you apart from other candidates?
I'm running for Congress because I believe I come with the best set of skills. And truly, due to my background and where I grew up and how I do things, things that are what I call Hawai'i values drive me. And I'm running for Congress because I believe I can take those values with me. And it is also because I believe I can best serve the people of Hawai'i and best serve the people of the First Congressional District in this capacity, in the capacity of someone in the legislative process and in the Congress of the United States.
What specific experience most prepared you for congressional office?
You know, the experiences that I've had growing up is, of course, something that you can never ignore. But in addition to that, for the past 12 years I've been in the Legislature, many of those years spent as chair of very tough committees and the last four years as the first woman to be the head of any legislative body in the Legislature. What it has taught me are cooperation and the ability to collaborate; but more importantly, the significance and the importance of listening to people, understanding what they're saying and then crafting legislation and being able to get it through. |
