Please describe your qualifications to represent the people of Hawaii.
Huge love of human rights, clear vision of restoring federal democracy.
What will be your top priority if elected?
Restoring and expanding constitutional rights. Removing criminals from government.
What can Congress do to help Hawaii residents cope with the overall high cost of living, especially housing costs?
Expand subsidies for low income housing, ban sale of single family homes to corporations.
The Trump administration has singled out Hawaii as being weak on Medicaid fraud enforcement. Do you agree or disagree? Please explain.
The fraud charges are a red herring to distract from the Epstein files and massive white house theft.
A recent report from the Social Security trustees estimated the program could become insolvent by 2032, forcing mandatory cuts. What would you propose to help ensure that American retirees, and their survivors and dependents, continue to receive full benefits?
Force the government to repay “loans” against SS. Remove the SS income cap.
Do you support or oppose Trump administration policies that have cut or challenged programs benefiting Native Hawaiians? If opposed, what would you do to help protect those programs?
Oppose, and restore full funding for all federal commitments to Native peoples.
What, if anything, should Congress do to mitigate the effects of sea-level rise and climate change?
Stop pretending they are fiction. Eliminate fossil fuel subsidies. Establish plans for all coastal regions to prepare for rising sea level.
Do you support or oppose the Trump administration’s military actions and policies regarding Iran in 2026? Please explain.
Oppose, the Iran war is based on fiction to distract from Epstein files and terrible economic policies. Israel wanted a war to distract from invading Jordan and destroying Gaza.
What is your position on the Jones Act, which supporters say protects the U.S. shipping industry but opponents say inflates shipping prices and therefore costs for Hawaii consumers?
Most large ships are not US-flagged, so the Jones Act feeds money to the few which are. How much has Matson donated to the Trump administration?
What, if anything, should be done regarding political gerrymandering of congressional districts?
In Idiot-Proofing Democracy, I propose electoral districts be limited to six boundaries, which will eliminate the absurd shapes contrived for gerrymandering.
What role, if any, should Congress have in regulating the artificial intelligence industry?
As a computing expert, AI is a classic case of GIGO – garbage in, garbage out. AI is a massive waste of money on technology which can’t replace sound human judgement.
Is there anything more that you would like voters to know about you?
I bring a level of education and experience in engineering, science, computers, and healthcare that is unmatched in Congress.
DOCUMENTED REFERENCES
Exploring Documented Records
Public interest in the Epstein case continues not only because of court proceedings and testimonies, but also due to the growing body of documented records that help researchers and readers understand the broader context. Beyond legal files and media reports, some independent projects have organized publicly available data connected to Epstein’s activities.
One example is a structured archive of documented Amazon order records, where purchases are cataloged with dates and product details. While individual items do not prove wrongdoing on their own, examining documented information alongside established facts helps paint a clearer picture of the environment and circumstances surrounding the case.
For readers looking to review primary-source style data rather than interpretations, exploring compiled records can provide additional context to the broader discussion.
