There are two basic kinds of issues. 

Those that affect our nation's security – not just defense, but also energy, economic and environmental policies. 

And those social issues that impact everyday families – healthcare, housing, education and jobs.

Whether on a macro or micro level, the decisions we make today which chart our path forward must be sustaining and nurturing of this beautiful place we call home, and of the children who will carry Hawai‘i’s legacy forward.

This is my unwavering commitment to you.
