START OFF BASICS.

START WITH YOU.

LET US KNOW WHY YOU'RE SEEKING THIS OFFICE.

>> BECAUSE ONE, IT'S OPEN SEAT.

WED KNEAD A NEW REPRESENTATIVE.

NEED A NEW REPRESENTATIVE.

WORKING HOMELESSNESS SERVICE PAST 4-AND-A-HALF YEARS SEEN A LOT OF HOW, ISSUES ARE NEVER ISOLATED IN ONE AREA.

IT'S VERY SYST SYSTEMIC TAKES SOMEONE NOT ONLY LOOK AT THE WHOLE SYSTEM BUT SOMEONE WHO WILL HELP FACILITATE COLLABORATION OF MULTIPLE STAKEHOLDERS AND DIFFERENT GROUPS THINK THAT IN MY EXPERIENCE, AN MY WIRING AS A PERSON, THAT IS THE I'M GOOD AT.

WOULD LIKE TO DO IT FOR OUR DISTRICT AS I HAVE BEEN DOING ON THE SUNRISE O NEIGHBORHOOD BD STATE LEVEL.

>> I'M SEEKING SEAT BECAUSE I'M PRETTY, I'M WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.

I WORK WITH THE PEOPLE.

FAMILIES, I'VE GROWN UP SINCE IN THE COMMUNITY FIRE LONG TIME.

I SEE THE ACTUAL TROUBLES THAT WE GO THROUGH.

THE CHALLENGES THAT THE FAME ZIYUN LI FACE.

FAMILIES FACE INCLUDING OUR FAMILY.

JUST WANTING TO ALWAYS FIGHT FOR WHATEVER THE PEOPLE NEEDS.

I FEEL LIKE I HAVE GRIT TO DO IT.

>>Yunji: SAME QUESTION.

WHY ARE YOU RUNNING FOR OFFICE?

>> I'M RUNNING BECAUSE I LOVE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

I LOVE OUR DISTRICT.

FROM THE LANE I LIVE IN, NEIGHBORS I CONSIDER FAMILY, TO AUNTIES AND UNCLES LIVE DOWN STREET TO THE SMALL BUSINESSES, THAT I LOVE FREQUENTING IN OUR DISTRICT, I LOVE OUR DISTRICT.

PASSIONATE ABOUT IT AND I WANT TO BRING THE THE PASSION FOR THE STATE HOUSE REPRESENT THE DISTRICT WELL.

>>Yunji: JAKE, HOW ABOUT YOU?

>> I ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT WE'RE FACING BIT OF ETHICAL CRISIS IN OUR COUNTRY.

IN OUR STATE AND LOCAL POLITICS.

RUNNING TO BRING FORWARD NEW KIND OF POLITICS.

ONE WHERE THERE'S ETHICAL GROUNDING TO BASE ALL OF OUR DECISION ON.

POLITICS FALLING SHORT WORKING FAMILIES LEFT BEHIND.

WILLING TO SERVE THE FOLKS TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A FUTURE TO CALL OUR HOME.

>> ALWAYS HAD A PASSION FOR PUBLIC SERVICE.

AND I REALLY BELIEVE THAT WE NEED PEOPLE IN LEADERSHIP UNDERSTAND REAL STRUGGLES REAL WORK PEOPLE AND FAMILIES.

PARENTS EMIGRATED FROM HOUSE DURING THE VIETNAM.

WAR.

LASO HARD FOR THEM TO BUILD A LIFE FOR ME AND SISTER.

PUTTING FORWARD POLICIES PUT COMMUNITY FIRST ALREADY.

>>Yunji: DISTRICT IS PRETTY DIVERSE.

SMALL BUSINESSES.

A LOT OF RESIDENTIAL.

I MIX OF NEEDS AN INCOMES.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE BIGGEST ISSUE?

START WITH YOU.

FACING DISTRICT AND WHAT SPECIFIC LEGISLATION WOULD YOU SUPPORT O EVERY SOLVE IT.

>> RIGHT NOW, AFFORDABILITY AND COST OF LIVING DEFINITELY ON EVERYONE'S TOP OF MIND.

FROM GOING DOOR TO DOUR, I CAN'T HELP TO NOTICE, THERE SEEMS TO BE A LACK OF OPTIMISM.

O&MS CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS MAMANY--COMES TO WHAT GOVERNMENT CAN DO FOR YOU.

PEOPLE BELIEVE GOVERNMENT IS INEFFICIENT.

TAKES WAY TO LOOK FOR ISERI BASIC SERVICE IN THE COMMUNITY.

ASK GOVERNMENT AGENCIES WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG, USUALLY BECAUSE THERE'S A WORKFORCE SHORTAGE.

AND IT'S TRUE.

WE 24% VACANCY RATE ACROSS ALL DEPARTMENTS.

AND WHEN IT TAKES 60 TO 6 TO 8 MONTHS TO HIRE SOMEONE.

NO SURPRISE LOSING PEOPLE TO THE PRIVATE ST SECTOR.

PEOPLE EAGER TO WORK, MORE THAN QUALIFIED TO DO THE JOB AND LOOK FOR THE STABILITY AND OPPORTUNITY OF GOVERNMENT JOB.

SO I'M ALWAYS GOING TO BE MAKING SURE THAT WE STRESS HIRING FOR OUR DEPARTMENTS, AND BECAUSE PAST YEAR GET -- FASTER GET PEOPLE IN THERE, FASTER COMMUNITY GOING TO BE SERVE.

>>Yunji: WHERE DO YOU AND IS IT A ON?

WHAT DO YOU THINK THE BIGGEST ISSUE FACING IT AND WHAT WOULD YOU SPECIFIC WORK TON FIX IT.

>> VERY GOOD POINT.

AGREE MORE WITH THAT.

DIFFERENCE COMES FROM LEGISLATURE I THINK HAS BEEN CHASING EMERGENCY AFTER EMERGENCY FOR FAR TOO LONG.

REALLY NEED IS LONGTERM THINKING TO UNDERSTAND AFFORDABILITY ISN'T JUST A CURRENT CRISIS.

SOMETHING PLAY PLAGUED WITH OVER 20, 30, 40 YEARS NOW.

SOMETHING THAT GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO AS PEOPLE AND RESIDENTS HERE ON HAWAII ISLANDS.

KIND OF OFTEN SAID, THIS IS JUST PART LIVING IN PARADISE.

DIFFERENCE NOW IS JUST GENERATIONAL FAMILIES ARE BEEN TORN APART BY ECONOMIC CIRCUMSTANCES.

IF YOU WANT TO HAVE SOME SORT OF HOME HERE, FUTURE HERE, CAREER HERE, OFTEN YOU HAVE TO STAY AT HOME FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.

BUYING HOME IS NOT POSSIBLE.

SO PEOPLE ARE LEFT RESORT TO GO MOVING TO MAINLAND.

AFFECTS EVERYTHING ABOUT OUR SOCIETY AND GOVERNMENT AND ABILITY TO ACTUALLY BRING FORWARD OPPORTUNITIES HERE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.

S>>Yunji: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

>> AFFORDABILITY ABSOLUTELY.

COMMUNITY SAFETY IS A BIG ISSUE.

SPECIFIC TO OUR DISTRICT, INVASIVE SPECIES IS A SERIOUS ISSUE.

BACK OF PALOLO VALLEY DEALING OUTBREAK OF COQUI FROGS AFFECTING PEOPLE QUALITY OF LIFE.

RISK OF SPREADING TO OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE FURTHER DOWN OUR DISTRICT.

OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS TOO.

THAT'S SOMETHING WE HAVE TO SERIOUSLY ADDRESS.

ALONG WITH FERAL CATS, FERAL CHICKENS AND HURTING FORAGE FORAGEEL ECOSYSTEM THERE.

WAKEUP 2DAY FIRST THING I'LL ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS I'LL DO, BILL DONE TO HAVE INVASIVE SPECIES DEPARTMENT, TO SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS THESE ISSUES AND HELP OUT THE COMMUNITY IN THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY STEPPED UP TO HANDLE THIS INVASIVE SPECIES ISSUE BUT WE NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE SUPPORT FROM STATE GOVERNMENT.

>>Yunji: WHERE ARE YOU LANDING ON THIS FOR NOW?

WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE BIGGEST ISSUE FACING YOUR DISTRICT ?

WELL, MENTIONED OUR TOP, WHICH IS HOUSING COST OF LIVING.

BUT I'M NOT SO CONCERNED ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH.

ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH.

FOR ALL AGES.

LIKE I MENTIONED WORKED A LOT WITH YOUTH.

ALL AGES.

INCLUDING UP TO ADULTS YOUNG ADULTS.

SO AS I CANVAS AND TALK TO FAMILIES AS WELL, THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THE HARDSHIP AND MISSING WORK IS NOT AN OPTION.

TRAIN TRYING TO TAKE KEAHI OF LOVED ONE CARE OF LOVED ONES O ELDERLY PARE PA PARENTIES I WANO TRY TO FOCUS ON THAT TAKE BACK, PARENTS GO BACK TO THE COMMUNITY AND SEE WHAT THEY CALV.>>Counc SAY WAS WELL.

>> HAWAII BEEN IN COST OF LIVING CRISIS AND AFFORDABLE LIVING CRISIS.

THING THAT, JUST SEPARATES FEW SUBDIVISION HAVE THAT TOO, I'VE BEEN TOLD THIS WHEN I GO TO OUT OF OUR COMMUNITY AND SHARE WHAT OUR COMMUNITY HAS AS THEIR CONCERN.

VERY DISTDISTINCTCARE A LOT ABOUT PAG CONGESTED ROADS TRADEMARK OF OUR YEAH.

SAFETY OF OUR ROADS TOP CONCERN.

I DROVE NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE OF CROSSWALK BECAUSE SO MANY ACCIDENTS ON IT.

KNOCKING ON DOORS THERE SOMEONE WOULD LOST THEIR FATHER TO A FATAL PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT IN THE 90s.

ONE TEN YEARS LATER.

SAME CROSSWALK.

STILL HASN'T BEEN FIXED.

SO ONE OF THOSE ONES THAT IT MIGHT SOUND MANINI BUT EVERY DAY MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY.

IN OUR COMMUNITY AS WE SEE DIVERSE.

A LOT OF KEIKI, WHOLE LOT OF EXIKAPONO A LOT OF TRANSIENT PEOPLE THROUGH KAIMUKI SAY HUB FOR CLIMBERS.

I WOULD SAY PEDESTRIAN SAFETY IS ONE OF THE TOP ONES.

SUBTLE SECOND.

I CAR A LOT ABOUT INCREASING FAMILY CAREGIVER TAX CREDITED IT ISSUE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

GENERATIONS T TAKE CARE OF OTHER GENERATION IS UNABLE TO WORK BECAUSE THEY ARE HAVING TO STAY HOME AND CARE FOR THEIR FAMILY BECAUSE THE COST OF HAVING EXTERNAL CARE IS SO MUCH GREATER THAN WHAT GET FROM SALARY.

>>Yunji: BRING IN IN THE VIEWERS HERE.

YOU DID TALK ABOUT INTERGENERATIONAL FAMILIES AND FACT THAT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE FORCED TO STAY HOME.

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT BUILDING POUR HOMES IS PART OF THE SOLUTION TO OUR HOUSING AVAILABILITY CRY IN CRISIS IN WHERE SHOULD HOMES BE BUILT AND WHAT SHOULD BUILT NEM THEM?

SALIENT FOR THE COMMUNITY A LOT OF THE MONSTER HOME CONVERSATION HAS HAPPEN BECAUSE PEOPLE TRYING TO BUILD MMORE HOUSING BUT COST TO THE NEIGHBORS AND TRAFFIC CONGESTION.

WHAT DO YOU SAY AT THAT DAMIEN IN TERMS OF WHERE THOSE HOMES SHOULD BE BUILT?

AND WHO SHOULD BUILD THEM.

>> GREAT QUESTION.

I THINK FIRST OFF, I THINK UNFORTUNATELY UPON CENTER HOME ISSUE MONSTER HOME ISSUE SIDETRACKED CITY ISSUE.

COULDN'T DISAGREE.

MONSTER HOMES ARE PART OF LARGER DIFFICULT S DIFFICULT SIT HOLISTIC AND COMPREHENSIVE STATE PLANNING PLANNING PROVIDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.

MARKET FORCES TAKING ADVANTAGE OF SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES, HOMES THAT PEOPLE WORK PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD.

AND MAKING THEM INTO INVEST PES.

INTO INVESTMENT IT'S SPECULATIVE PROPERTY AND LUCRATIVE INVESTMENT FOR THEM RATHER THAN ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTING TO THE WORKING NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WE HAVE.

SO IT'S DIFFICULT ISSUE.

BUT ULTIMATELY WE DO NEED TO GET TOGETHER AT THE LEGISLATURE AND C COME UP ACROSS WITH A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

AFFECT HOUSING CRUSADE BROADER PEDIATRIC TURKS CRISIS A LOT OF AREAS GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO STEP UP.

AFFORDABILITY BIG ONE.

NUMBER ONE MY SOLUTION WOULD BE TO LOOK AT STATE LANDS AND OFFER HOUSING TO BUILD HOUSING 'OSTATE LANDS LEAS LEASE THEM OT PEOPLE NEED IT WORK.

STATE WORKERS AND TEACHERS FOLKS WE NEED AS A STATE TO BE ABLE TO OPERATE AND MEET PEOPLE WITH SERVICES THAT ARE MUCH REQUIRED.

WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPTIONS.

AND WHERE IS ANOTHER QUESTION.

I THINK THAT IS WE HAVE LIMITEDDING OSBORNE BUT I THINK WE NEED TO ELEMENTS OPTIONS WE NEED TO -- WE HAVE LIMITED OPTION WE NEED TO FIGURE IT OUT.

>>Yunji: SHOULD MORE HOMES BE BUILT?

>> ANSWER IS YES.

MORE HOMES ABSOLUTELY NEED TO BE BUILT.

WE DO HAVE ISSUE WITH MONSTER HOMES IN OUR DISTRICT.

WE DON'T WANT LARGE SCALE UNITS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

OF PALOLO, WILHELMINA RISE, ST.

LOUIS HEIGHTS.

AND ALSO WE HAVE TO HAVE SOME PUT REAL TEETH ON LEGISLATION WHEN SOMEONE BUILDS WITHOUT A PERMIT IN THESE AREAS BECAUSE ESSENTIALLY STRESSES SUBDIVISION INFRASTRUCTURE.

WITH REGARD TO DISTRICT THINK I IF GO DOWN WAIALAE, ST.

LOUIS SIDE OF WAIALAE, ON THE MAKAI SIDE OF WAIALAE AVENUE, OPPORTUNITY AND SOME SPACE THERE.

TO BUILD HOUSING.

AND WITH REGARD TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING, WE NEED HOUSING FOR EVERYONE.

NOT JUST WE DO NEED LOW INCOME HOUSING.

HOUSING CALL HAYES ARE GREAT.

STEP IN THAT DIRECTION.

KAUHALE.

NEED HOUSING FOR COLLEGE GRADS.

YOUNG PEOPLE TO MOVE MOVEBACK HOME AND STEP, VOLUNTAY LEGISLATURE TOOK A GREAT STEP.

PASSING BILL FOR 99 YOU'RE LEASEHOLDS BUILDING GOOD CALL THE HOUSING FOR PEOPLE TO, EVENTUALLY OWN IN LEASEHOLD.

GOT TO EXPAND THAT.

KEEP GOING THAT OPTION FOR PEOPLE TO MOVE BACK AND HOME BUY A HOME HERE IN HAWAII.

>>Yunji: WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS?

IS MORE HOUSING NEEDED IN OUR DISTRICT?

WHERE WOULD YOU BUILD THOSE HOMES?

>> I WOULD HAVE TO HONESTLY REANALYZE THAT INFORMATION.

I WOULD HAVE TO GATHER ALL THE INFORMATION AND THEN GO UPON THAT.

AS OF NOW, HONESTLY I WOULDN'T BUILD HOMES YET.

BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE HAWAII IS CONSTANTLY BUILDING.

WE CAN'T CONTINUE TO BUILD WITH JUST A SMALL ISLAND.

WHERE ARE WE GOING TO GO.

>>Yunji: DO YOU AGREE, YEAH, ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN PARTS.

I WOULD SAY THAT IN OUR DISTRICT, THERE A SENSE THAT'S SO DENSITY P PO LATED HOW CAN WE BUILD MOREMENT POPULATED, WALK AND TALKING, SENTIMENT WHY CAN'T I GET MY ROOF REPAIRS OHANA UNIT MONSTER HOUSE COMING UP NEXT TO ME.

ALSO HOME THAT IS ARE DILAPIDATE DATED BECAUSE PROPERTY OWNER CAN'T TAKE CARE OF IT PROPERTY TAX IS OVER $1.4 MILLIONER NOT PROPERTY TAX.

ACTUAL PROPERTY IS VALUED AT $1.4 MILLION.

STARE STUCK IN THAT PROPERTY DON'T WANT TO SELL TO FOREIGN INVESTMENTANT CAN'T TAKE CARE OF.

JUST FULL OF TRASH HONESTLY.

A FEW OF THOSE HIGHWAYSES.

HOUSES WHEREPEOPLE SHOULD BUILT, ESPECIALLY IN OUR COUNTY, WE HAVE PLACES THAT HAVE INFRASTRUCTURE TO BUILD BUT NOT ZONING.

PLACES THAT ZONING TO BUILD BUT NOT NF INFRASTRUCTURE ZONING BY THE COUNTY.

INFRASTRUCTURE CAN BE SUPPLEMENT THE BY THE STATE.

I WOULD ENCOURAGE STATE AND COUNTY AND I WOULD HELP DO THAT AS A REPRESENTATIVE.

TALK ABOUT ACTUALLY GETTING THOSE TWO ALIGNED BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE WE SHOULD BUILD.

>>Yunji: ANDREW WHEN YOUR THOUGHTS?

MORE FAUMORE HOUSING?

>> KEEP ON I VESTING IN THE RENTAL HOUSING REINVOLVING FUND.

KEEP MORE BUILDING MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND VERY COGNIZANT OF THE FACT THAT WITHIN THE PAST DECADE, SEEMS LIKE THERE'S BEEN A PROLIFERATION OF MONSTER HOMES, ILLEGAL MONSTER HOMES IN OUR DISTRICT.

PRO RESPONSIBLE R VERY MANY MAKE SURE DEVELOPMENT.

INCREASE HOUSING VI INVENTORY KEEP BUILDING IN THE TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT AREA FOR EXAMPLE AND ONCE WE INCREASE, OUR HOUSING INVENTORY, I BELIEVE THAT'S SURE SHOT WAY OF MAKING SURE THAT NEED TO BUILD ILLEGAL MONSTER HOMES ISN'T GOING TO BE THERE.

>>Yunji: CONTINUE WITH THE VIEWER QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU FOR THOSE WRITING IN TONIGHT.

WE LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU.

HEAR FROM YOU ON THIS ONE OF YOU MENTIONED BUSINESSES.

SEEN THAT ONE.

PAUL PALOLO WANT TO KNOW, WHAT DO WE DO VACANT QUEEN'S THEATER.

SOMETHING THAT BEEN TALKINGING ABOUT FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.

NO SOLUTION IN SIGHTS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK SHOULD BE DONE WITH THAT PROPERTY.

>> CITY COUNCIL MADE THE RIGHT MOVE.

PORTIONING FUNDS TO PURCHASE THE THEATER NEXT UP IS FINDING A GOOD NONPROFIT WHO HAS THE FINANCES TO RENOVATE IT AND KEEP IT ART SPACE.

KEEP IT ART SPACE.

THEATER SPACE.

ACTUALLY THERE ARE SOME REALLY GOOD NONPROFITS ON WAIALAE AVENUE.

I TALK SOME OF THEIR BOARDMEMBERS HIFF THERE A ALONG HAWAII INTERNATIONAL FILL FESTIVAL AND COSASA FOUNDATION.

WORK WITH NONPROFIT IT'S TO RENOVATE THE THEATER, CONTINUE ENSURE THAT IT CONTINUES TO BE, ART SPACE.

THEATER SPACE FOR OUR DISTRICT.

>>Yunji: WE ARE YOUR THOUGHT?

WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN TO THAT SPACE?

>> I HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT IT.

HARD QUESTION FOR ME.

I WOULD I HE'LL I IDEALLY POSSIO TOAND BE SPACE FOR RESOURCE FOR FAMILY AND BUSINESSES.

SOME PLACE THAT THE YOUTH CAN GO FOR HELP.

ADULTS COULD GO FOR HELP.

POSSIBLY LIKE RESUMES, GETTING JOBS FINDING JOBS THINGS LIKE THAT.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS KIND OF THINKING.

>>Yunji: WHERE DO YOU LAND ON THIS?

>> I THINK WE SHOULD DEFINITELY DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE WITH THE SPACE.

DEFINITELY PARTNER WITH A NONPROFIT TO MANAGE IT.

I PLAYED UKULELE STUDIOS IN EXIEK AND IT WOULD BE REALLY NICE PLA PLACE FOR THE COMMUNITY TO GET TOGETHER?

KAIMUKI REALLY APPRECIATE THE ARTS.

SO DEFINITELY SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE.

>>Yunji: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN TO THAT SPACE.

>> I THINK THAT THERE'S DEFINITELY COMMUNITY INTEREST IN REVITALIZING TANDEN CREATING A SPACE FOR THE COMMUNITY.

WHETHER THAT BE, SUPPORT OF RESOURCES TALKING ABOUT OR IT IS TRUE.

KAIMUKI IS HUB OF ART.

I WOULD SAY THOUGH THAT THERE IS IN THE PURCHASING OF THE SITE, I WOULD HATE THAT PART OF THAT FUNDING HAS BEEN AIL ALLOCATED USE TO KEEP THE HISTORY OF REVITALIZATION OVERPASS.

HOME OF BUSINESS HELP OUR BUSINESS I WANT TO SEE IT REVIVED BROUGHT TO LIFE, I ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE OUR BUSINESSES CAN S STAY OPEN.

ANOTHER ONE ANNOUNCE ENCLOSING IN TEN DAYS.

THEY'RE CLOSING IN TEN DAYS.

>>Chair Waters: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN TO THAT PROPERTY.

I THINK DIFFERENT.

IN COMES FROM MY EXPERIENCE FARMING.

TIME IS ALWAYS THE ESSENCE OF THE ESSENCE WHEN YOU'RE WORKING IN THAT KIND OF ENVIRONMENT.

SO REALLY MAKING MULTIPLE STEPS IN ONE, I THINK REALLY GOOD WAY TO GO ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

PARKING BIG ISSUE IN OUR DISTRICT.

MOMENMONSTER HOMESDIFFICULT.

RETAIL SPACES DIFFICULT PLACE TO PARK.

GETTING RETAIL STOP.

PARK FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WAIALAE AND STAYING TRUE TO EAT EEGHTD OWES HAVING A PLACE TO GATHER AND SHARE OUR ARTWORK ETHOS, COMMUNITY INTEREST.

SO DO MORE THAN JUST ONE THING I THAT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO EVERYONE.

>>Yunji: THIS YOU'RE NOT IN THE DISTRICT WRITING IN FROM KAILUA.

HAS INTERESTING QUESTION.

LOTS OF GREAT IDEAS FROM THE PANEL TO THE.

WOULD THEY SHAKE THINGS UP TO GET MORE LULT RESULTS OUT OF THE THE CAPITAL.

>> GOOD ONE.

HONESTLY THIS IS ALL BRAND NEW TO ME.

BUT I KNOW THAT SHAPE THINGS , DISTRICT PARK HASN'T HAD LIGHTS FOR OVER 15 YEARS, I WENT OUT AND COLLECTED OVER 300 SIGNATURES JUST TO GET ATTENTION.

SO I'M SUPER-THANKFUL FOR IT HAPPENING AND THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT I WOULD DO.

JUST GO BACK TO OUR PEOPLE.

AND JUST FIGHT FOR WHATEVER OUR PEOPLE WANT.

>>Yunji: I SEE THIS QUESTION REALLY KIND OF WHAT KIND OF LEADER ARE YOU.

WHAT IS YOUR STYLE.

HO DO YOU SHAKES THING UP TO GET MORE RESULTS THAN WHAT WE USUALLY SEE COMING OFF THE THE LEGISLATURE?

, IN THE PAST WORKED FOR ONE OUR LARGEST HOMELESS PROVIDERS.

GOT TO HELP WRITE A BILL CREATE A COMMUNITY-BASED MEDICAID ASSISTED D DEPOSITION X CENTER.

PEOPLE HAD REASONS WHY EVERYTHING WOULDN'T WE'RE NOT TALKING POLICY WE'RE TALKING PEOPLE REAL LIVES REAL NEEDS GOING IN THE SESSION, FEW DIFFERENT BILLS I HELP CHAMPION ON THE LOBBYIST SIDE.

IT WAS ONE OF THOSE ONES WHERE I GOT TOLD ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF PEOPLE.

IT'S A SMALL AMOUNT OF PEOPLE.

THAT KEEP GOING IN THE CYCLE THAT NEVER GETS TREATED.

ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF PEOPLE BUT MILLION DOLLARS MANY REALLY, I THINK SHAKE IT UP, JUST BACK TO HUMANITY AND ALSO, I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO SOLVE IT.

I DON'T THINK I CAN SOLVE IT.

I'M ASKING YOU TO JUST TO TALK TO ME.

AND TALK TO THE PEOPLE HEAR WHAT THE NEED IS AND ONCE WE GET PAST WHY WE CAN'T DO IT, FIGURE OUT HOW WHICH C WE CAN DO IT.

>>Yunji: ANDREW WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHT?

HOW WOULD YOU SHAKE THINGS UP TO GET MORE RESULTS OUT OF THE CAPITOL.

>> ALL DEFINITELY RUNNING AS DEMOCRATS AND MAKE SURE THAT WE DO OUR PART REACHING ACROSS THE AISLE AND MAKE SURE THAT STATE LEGISLATURE HAS AS A WHOLE IS PRODUCTIVE FOR OUR COMMUNITY, AND I LEARNED THAT THE BEST TYPE OF LEADERSHIP COMES FROM COLLABORATION.

AROUND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I WOULD DEFINITELY BRING IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE.

>>Yunji: WHAT ABOUT YOU?

>> HIGHWAY PRIVILEGE GETTING INVOLVED AT THE NATURE PARK EFFORT TO PREVENT THE DOJO BE DEVELOPED THERE.

EXEMPLIFIES KIND OF ATTITUDE.

PEOPLE OFTEN ARE ENGAGED.

AWARE.

LOOKING FOR SOME SORT OF CHANGE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.

HYPERSENSITIVE TO WHEN THOSE ARE NOT BEING LISTENED TO AND SOMETHING IS COMING FROM THE TOP DOWN.

FOR BENEFITS OUTSIDE OF OUR DISTRICT.

SO I WAS HAPPY TO GET INVOLVED WITH THAT.

AND PREVENT THAT PART FROM HAPPENING BY WRITING REPORTS IN THE CITY.

FURTHERMORE I THINK LOOKING BIGGER PICTURE LOOKING AT THE CAPITOL, MY EXPERIENCE WORKING THERE IS CORPORATE INTERESTS RUN THE CAPITOL.

SEVERAL BILL THAT I WORKED ON, THAT I WORKED WITH LOCAL FARMERS AND FOOD POLICY EXPERTS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE MOVING RIGHT DIRECTION IN TERMS FOOD SUSTAINABILITY.

ONLY TO FIND CORPORATE INTERESTS VERY END TO COME IN AND HIJACK THE LANGUAGE OF THAT PUT IN THERE AND PUT IN SOMETHING BENEFITS THEM.

THAT'S NOT PUBLIC.

NOT SOMETHING PUBLIC KNOWS ABOUT.

BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT AFFECTS THE CAPITOL EVERY DAY AND WAY THAT THINGS WORK.

SO THAT'S WHY I DON'T TAKE ANY CORPORATE MONEY AND NOT INTERESTED IN DOING ANYTHING LIKE THAT HE HAVE.

STAY TRUE TO THE PEOPLE.

BEING WITH THEM ON THE GROUND NOT BEING A FADE OF BEING FRAY F BEING HUNDREDABLE.

HOW CAN I WORK FOR YOU?

BEING HUMBLE.

>>Yunji: HEAD OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY YOU I DO THINK THE LEGISLATURE NEEDS LEADER TAKES THING UP OR WAYS WORKING NOW IS WORKING.

>> PUTTING MY TIME CHAIR OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY I HAD TO SELL TOM REALLY POWERFUL PEOPLE NO I KNEW IT WASN'T IN THE INTEREST OF THE PARTY OR ST STATE.

ALONG WITH THAT BEING CHAIR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, WE ARE BIG TENT PARTY.

REPRESENTED DEMOCRATIC PARTY STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE REPRESENTED WITH ALL OF US HERE AT THE TABLE.

GREAT DEMOCRACY.

YOU HAVE TO FIND MIDDLE GROUND.

THAT'S WHAT I DID CHAIR DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

LISTEN TO EVERYONE.

REALLY FOUND THAT GOOD COMPROMISE MIDDLE GROUND.

WE GOT SOME REALLY GOOD BILLS THAT WE SPONSORED AND REALLY PUSH FOR PASSED OVERTURNING CITIZENS UNITED, FRANKLY I THINK WAS UPSET.

THERE'S A LOT OF MUSCLE AND POWER BEHIND IT FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

OF HAWAII.

I BELIEVE MY EXPERIENCE CHAIR OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WILL HELP ME PASS LEGISLATION WORK WITH PEOPLE AND REALLY GET SOME IMPORTANT BILLS TO FINISH LINE.

>>Yunji: THIS IS FUN ONE FROM LAWRENCE OUTSIDE OF THE DISTRICT.

WAY FOR EACH OF YOU TO SORT OF ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU LOVE YOUR HOME.

WHAT'S A GED REASON TO VISIT YOUR DISTRICT.

HUB OF WORKING CLASS, FOMO LIST REALLY ON FAMILIES OPERATING IN THE WAY IT SHOULD, NOT JUST ONE OR TWO OR THREE SEGMENTS OF THE DISTRICT THAT IS THRIVING.

FOR THE MOST PART EVERYBODY.

AND WE ALL HAVE TIME TO BE ABLE TO GO AND ENJOY WONDERFUL SMALL BUSINESSES THAT ARE FOR THE MOST PART LOCAL AND I THINK IF ANYTHING, MICROCOSM OF SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO BRING OUT FURTHER FOR THE REST OF THE STATE TO ENJOY.

>>Yunji: WHAT DO YOU THINK GOOD REASON TO VISIT DISTRICT?

PA.

CONCENTRATION FOR SCHOOLS FOR KID.

GREAT PLACE TO RAISE A FAMILY L CHILDREN WHAT MAKES IT REALLY VIBRANT.

DEFINITELY ENJOY ALL EVENTS AT THE SCHOOLS.

>>Yunji: ONE OF THE BEST STATE JODY LIB LIBRARIES.

INTERESTING QUESTION FROM ZOE NOT SOMETHING HAPPENING DISTRICT BUT LAWMAKER C HAVE TO WRESTLE WITH.

MONEY SPENT ON STADIUM.

IS MONEY SPENTING NEW STADIUM WORTH IT.

RESIDENTIAL TOWERS TO THE STADIUM.

MORE MONEY.

IS THAT A GOOD IDEA?

START WITH YOU.

WHAT DO YOU SAY TO ZOE?

STADIUM MONEY WORTH IT THAT WE'RE INVESTING THERE.

>> FRANKLY NO.

I DON'T BELIEVE SO.

I THINK WE'RE IN SITUATION WHERE BEFORE, PEOPLE ARE CHOOSING BETWEEN LIVING HERE OR FINDING A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR THEMSELVES ELSEWHERE.

WE NEED SOME SOLID INVESTMENT IN EDUCATION.

INTO THINGS THAT WILL ACTUALLY HELP PEOPLE STAY HERE AND MAKE A LIFE FOR THEMSELVES.

AS MUCH AS IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE ALOHA STADIUM, HAVE PLACE TO COME TOGETHER AND ACTUALLY ENJOY THESE MOMENTS, FRANKLY JUST NOT THERE AS A STATE.

IN A BIT MORE OF DIRE SITUATION TO PUT IT NICE WILL YOU.

>>Yunji: HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF TAXPAYOR DOLLARS INVEST.

DO YOU THINK IT'S WORTH IT.

>> I DO THINK IT'S WORTH IT.

I THINK, INVESTING IN THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND ALSO LIKE THE LIVELINESS OF THE COMMUNITY, IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, BUILDING A NEW ALOHA STADIUM WILL GIVE A LOT OF JOBSES TO A LOT OF LOCAL PEOPLE.

AND IT'S GOING TO BE INVESTMENT THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE REALLY GLAD WE MADE IN THE FUTURE.

>>Yunji: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

>> YEAH.

I THINK THAT I'M GOING TO SEPARATE THE CONSTRUCTION OF IT ALL.

I THINK INVESTMENT IN ALOHA STADIUM IS GREAT.

I DO HAVE QUESTIONS AND RESERVATIONS FOREST RESIDENTIAL TOWERS NEXT TO IT.

FOR RESIDENTIAL TOWERS NEXT TO IT WORK ON MY MASTER THESIS, ACTUALLY ABOUT THE AFFORDABLE LANDSCAPE FOR LEASEHOLD HOUSING.

AND A LOT OF DISCUSSION WAS THAT ACREAGE OVER THIS THERE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF IT.

A LOT OF DIFFERENT OPINIONS, LUXURY OR AFFORDABLE.

TRULY AFFORDABLE.

I WOULD SAY THAT MONEY ALREADY BEEN A LOTTED FOR THE STADIUM ITSITSELF WE SHOULD GO AHEAD AS PLANNED.

BEFORE WE BUILD MORE HOUSING CONVERSATION ABOUT RESOURCESES.

AS WE HAVE SAID.

FINITE RESOURCE WE'RE AN ISLAND.

AND THAT'S ALSO NOT TO BRING IT BACK TO RED HILL BUT THAT'S AN AREA THAT HAS HAD WATER ISSUES BEFORE.

I WOULD SAY BEFORE WE START BUILDING LARGE TOWERS WE SHOULD REALLY MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE COMMUNITIES INTEREST IN THERE AND ALSO MAKE SURE THAT IT SOMETHING TO SUSTAINABLE FOR THE FUTURE.

>>Yunji: WHERE DO YOU LAND ON THAT?

STADIUM MONEY WELL SPENT?

>> I WOULD SAY I THINK IDEA OF NEW STADIUM IS GREAT.

HOWEVER, I WOULD LOVE US FOR US TO PROBABLY WATCH OUR BUDGET MORE.

ALLOCATION OF FUNDS.

SO AGREE BEING WITH ANGIE AS FAR AS STADIUM IS GREAT, BUT MORE SO THE TOWER SAYS CONCERN.

>>Yunji: WHAT ABOUT YOU?

>> I AM SUPPORT OF BUILDING NEW STADIUM.

I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A TREMENDOUS INCOME GENERATOR FOR THE IS IT A STATE.

RT SO ITS T SPORTS TEAMS UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII, HIGH SCHOOL TEAMSLY BIT OF SPECIAL CONNECTION PLAYING FINALLY.

PLAYED STADIUM BACK IN THE DAY.

PLAYING FOOTBALL.

ON TOP OF THAT, MY PUSH, MY ENCOURAGEMENT IS REALLY CONSISTENT WITH ANGIE.

FOR THE HOUSING THERE HE MAKE SURE IT'S GOOD, QUALITY, AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

I THINK IT'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO INVEST IN THOSE 9 THE YEAR LEASEHOLDS ONE-MINUTE ECONOMY PEOPLE CAN MOVE BACK -- YOUNG PEOPLE CAN MOVE BACK TO THE STATE LEASEHOLD BASIS AND HAVE ANOTHER ADD TO THE SUPPLY OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN OUR STATE.

99 YEAR LEASES.

>>Yunji: NUMBER TVR YOU EXPERIENCE ON NEIGHBORHOOD BOARD O WINSTON WOULD YOU WOULD YOU GET CITY SAINT TO WORK CLOSELY WITH THE COMMUNITY.

>> GOING DOOR-TO-DOOR HEAR THE CONCERNS WITH SPEEDING, CRIME, ISSUES H LIKE THAT.

THOSE TYPICALLY FALL AS CITY ISSUES SO HAVING A REAL LIE GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR CITY COUNCIL IS JUST VITALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THAT IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES WITH SPEEDING AND CRIME.

AND THAT BRIDGE REALLY IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD BOARD.

SO I'M COMMITTED.

IF A HE A ELECT BE AT NEIGHBORD BOARD MEETING TO BUILD THAT GOOD RAPPORT AND CONNECTION WITH THE STATE HOUSE AND CITY COUNCIL.

>>Yunji: DID MENTION YOU'RE THE CHAIR NEIGHBORHOOD BOARD BE.

DO YOU FEEL THAT YOU HAVE ENOUGH ACCESS TO THE STATE LAWMAKERS AND DO YOU THINK THAT THAT COULD BE MORE IMPROVED?

>> LIKE MENTIONED I AM NEW TO ALL OF THIS.

SO BUT I IT DOESN'T TAKEAWAY MY THE SORRY.

IT DOESN'T TAKEAWAY MY SORRY.

I WOULD GUESS YOU'RE PASSIONATE.

TAKE YOUR TIME.

TOTALLY FINE.

WHY DON'T WELCOME BACK DO YOU.

ANDREA WHAT THINK?

HOW WOULD YOU GET CITY AND STATE WORK CLOSELY WITH THE COMMUNITY AND BETTER COORDINATE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD BOARD.

>> P LUCKY VICE CHAIR OF PALOLO NEIGHBORHOOD BOARD.

FORTUNATE THAT WE DO HAVE STATE LEGISLATURES AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS SHOW UP TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD BOARDS AND I THINK ALL OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD BOARDS ACROSS THE ISLAND/A REALLY GOOD ATTENDANCE.

FOR LAWMAKERS.

I DEFINITELY THINK PUBLIC SAFETY IS ONE OF THOSE ISSUES THAT A LOT OF COLLABORATION CAN HAPPEN BETWEEN THE STATE AND CITY.

MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE GET THEIR CONCERNS HEARD THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD BOARD.

IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

PEOPLE WHO I LOOK UP TO.

MY MENTORS STRESSED IDEA OF FACE-TO-FACE CONNECTIONS.

FOR ME TO REALLY DRIVE OUT THERE TO LOOK AT FALLEN TREE OR LOOK AT THAT CROSSWALK AND I THINK THAT IS TYPE OF LEADERSHIP THAT I PLAN TO BRING.

IS MAKE SURE I GET THOSE FACE-TO-FACE CONNECTIONS.

>>Yunji: WHERE DO YOU LAND ON THIS.

>> I THINK CRUCIAL.

I THINK TO WORK IN COLLABORATE WITH ALL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

UNITED BY THIS MISSION TO BENEFIT OUR COMMUNITY.

AND HELP THE STATE AS A WHOLE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

WHATEVER THAT MEANS AND WHATEVER THAT TAKES.

FOR ME, I EMPATHIZE WITH COMMON PERSON AN COMMON VOTER CONSTITUENTS IN OUR DISTRICT DON'T NECESSARILY KNOW WHO CITY COUNCIL OR STATE LEGISLATURES OR WHERE THE CITY OR THE COUNTY OR CITY AND CON CONTINUED A STATE NECESSARILY END AND BEGIN.

I DON'T KNOW IF DON'T BLAME THEM PRETTY COMPLICATED AND MAYBE UNNECESSARILY SO.

SO COMING FROM THIS ATTITUDE OF I'LL DO WHATEVER I CAN TO MEET YOU WHERE YOU ARE, HELP YOU NAVIGATE THIS COMPLEX SYSTEM, I THINK THAT IS APPROACH WE NEED.

TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THAT, NOT SEEING RESULT, WE'RE NOT DELIVERING.

THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT THAT.

>>Yunji: DID MENTION YOU HAVE COMMISSION EXPERIENCE.

BOARD EXPERIENCE.

QUESTION IS WELL S SUITED FOR YOU.

YOU HOW GET STATE AND CITY WORK CLOSELY.

>> FULL DISCLOSURE THAT'S MY CHAIR.

I WOULD SAY NEIGHBORHOOD BOARD IS GREAT INTRO INTO CIVIC ENGAGEMENT BECAUSE IT'S SPOT WHERE YOU KNOW, EVERY MONTH PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SHOW UP AND LISTEN.

I THINK THAT IF THE CONVERSATION EPIDE EARNED AT NEIGHBORHOOD BOARD DISTANT DISSE TO EVERYONE.

WHERE I LIVE OVER, TWO STREETS STREETS OVER DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOOD BOARD.

ACROSS THE STREET DIFFERENT CITY COUNCILMEMBER.

GO OVER T STREETS DIFFERENT REPRESENTATIVE I LIVE ON CORNER OFTEN GET STUCK IN INJURIEJURISDICTION ALA ALAN HO.

BETTER COLLABORATION LOOK PAST WHY THEY COULDN'T DID SOMETHING REALIZE THIS AFFECTS MY CONSTITUENTS AS WELL MY BORDER MIGHT BE WAIALAE.

I COULD STILL ACTUALLY IMPACT PEOPLE ON THE MAKAI SIDE.

AND SO I THINK THAT IS WAY TO HELP MAKE NEIGHBORHOOD BOARDS MORE EFFECTIVE, CONVERSATION KEEPS GOING BE AND OUTREACH GOES BEYOND.

>>Yunji: WHAT DO YOU THINK IN HOW DO YOU STATE AND CITY TO WORK MORE CLOSELY WITH CHCOMMUNITY VOICE.

>> ENGAGEMENT.

I BELIEVE THAT HAVING THAT APPROACH OF WORKING TOGETHER COLLABORATING AND HAVING THAT DRIVE TO AND PASSION TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR COMMUNITIES VOICES ARE HEARD, IF IT TAKES ALL DAY TO MAKE DIFFERENT CALLS TO DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS, AND I KNOW THAT WE ALL DONE THAT BEFORE, TO FIND OUT THE RIGHT PEOPLE BECAUSE SOMETIMES HONESTLY, NOT EVERYONE KNOWS.

YOU'LL BE SURPRISED ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE LEGISLATIVE DON'T KNOW.

AND THEY'RE WILLING TO HELP WHEN THEY DO FIND OUT.

THAT'S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THEM.

SO YEAH.

>>Yunji: OKAY.

GREAT.

TWO QUESTIONS HERE.

ASKING ABOUT TERM LIMIT WAS BOTTOM LINE, ON YOUTUBE WRITING NO, HOW DO THE PANELISTS FEEL ABOUT TERM LIMITS WOULD THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE SOMETHING THAT'S APPROPRIATE FOR LAWMAKERS?

LAWMAKERS HAVE BEEN HESITANT TO VISIT THIS ISSUE FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.

START WITH YOU.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT TERM LIMITS FOR LEGISLATORS?

>> I DEFINITELY BELIEVE THAT INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

RUNNING FOR A STATE HOUSE SEAT.

AND THAT IS TWO TERMS.

SORRY.

TWO YEARS.

FOR A TERM.

AND I DEFINITELY REALLY BELIEVE THAT WE START LEARNING THE JOB.

AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE NEED TO LEAVE OF THE HAVING THAT INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

ME PERSONALLY, I REALLY DON'T LOOK TO BE A CAREER POLITICIAN.

I AM RUNNING TO REPRESENT OUR DISTRICT, THE BEST THAT I CAN.

AND I AM REALLY GRATEFUL FOR THE YEARS SHOULD I BE ELECTED.

>>Yunji: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

SHOULD THERE BE TERM LIMITS FOR STATE LAWMAKERS.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

I THINK I ALSO NOT REALLY INTERESTED IN CAREER IN POLITICIAN.

BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF LEGISLATURES, LEGISLATORS THAT ARE.

AND UNFORTUNATELY THE WAY THE COMMUNITY CHAIR IS ORGANIZED, LOCKER YOU ARE.

HIGHER REWARDS ARE SIN INCENTIVE FOR YOU TO STAY.

OFTEN A WHAT HAPPENS SPEND SO MUCH TIME 'WAS THE FROM PEOPLE LOSE TOUCH WITH REALITY ON GROUND.

NNATURE OF BUSINESS.

NATURAL LIMITS NATURAL ANECDOTE PROBLEM WITH EXPERIENCED SEASONS, LEGISLATORS WITH INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE, REALLY DISTANCING FROM THE REALITIES OF REGULAR PERSON.

>>Yunji: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

>> YES.

I IN FAVOR OF TERM LIMITS.

GROWING UP I WAS ALWAYS TAUGHT THAT GOOD LEADERS LEAD THEMSELVES OUT.

WHICH MEANS THAT ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE NEXT PEOPLE TO COME IN.

AND SO I THINK WHAT WE HAVE BEEN ALL SEEING, OURSELVES HERE AT THE PANEL, ALSO THOSE WATCHING, IS THAT THERE'S KIND OF VACUUM IN PEOPLE P STEPPING UP OF THE AND SO VACANCY, OPEN SEAT, SO MANY PEOPLE JUDGMJUMPINGIN.

SO EAGER A A LOT OF DOES US DOING IT EAGER.

HELM PEOPLE KNOW WHAT IT COME AND ENCOURAGES THESE IN THOSE POSITIONS TO LOOK AROUND THEM AND GO, OKAY, IF I'M ONLY HERE FOR SAY 12 YEARS, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

ABLE TO BETTER STRATEGIZE.

>>Yunji: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

SHOULD THERE BE TERM LIMITES FOR STATE LAWMAKERS.

>> YES.

I BELIEVE THAT.

THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM FOR CHANGE.

IDEAS AND JUST IT'S ALL ON THE PEOPLE.

AS WELL.

>>Yunji: OKAY.

DEREK?

>> I'M ACTUALLY AGAINST TERM LIMITS FOR THE STATE HOUSE.

I'VE SEEN FIRSTHAND AS CHAIR OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF HAWAII, AND A LOT OF US HAVE SEEN IT HOW HARD IT IS TO GET A BILL THROUGH ALL THE COMMITTEES.

ALL THE LATERAL MOVEMENTS AND SEASON LAWMAKERS ARE THE ONES WHO CAN REALLY GET THOSE BILLS, THOSE IMPORTANT BILLS THROUGH THE FINISH LINE.

ON THE FLIPSIDE DO MORE TO ENCOURAGE YOUNG PEOPLE TO RUN.

I THINK IT'S WONDERFUL SEEING SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE RUNNING IN THIS RACE BUT EXPANDING DIFFERENT STATE FUNDED CAMPAIGNS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE, AND ALSO, THE ACTIONS WE TOOK OVERTURNING CITIZENS UNITED IS ALSO GO TO ENCOURAGE YOUNG PEOPLE TO RUN.

SINCE IT IS ONLY A TWO-YEAR TERM, AND EVERY TWO YEARS, YEAR RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION EARNEARN CORNERING PEOPLE TO RUN IS THE ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO RUN IS THE SOLUTION.

>>Yunji: GREAT QUESTION FROM YOUTUBE VIEWER.

THIS HAS COME UP DIFFERENT WAYS BECAUSE WE DID READ YOIUR BIOS AT THE TOP.

EACH SHARED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR BACKGROUND.

PERSON IS ASKING WHAT WILL YOUR JOB, WHAT OF YOUR JOB EXPERIENCE HELP YOU WORK AS A LAWMAKER ADD TO THAT JOB OR LIFE EXPERIENCE.

START WITH YOU.

WHAT IN YOUR LIFE PREPARED YOU FOR THIS MOMENT?

>> I THINK JUST MY EXPERIENCE OF GOING THROUGH STRUGGLE BEING IN THE COMMUNITY, JUST SEEING SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS, IN LIFE AND BEING ABLE ABLEHELP OTHERS ACTUALLY.

I'M ALWAYS, I HAVE HABIT OF TRYING TO FIX THINGS.

AND SO WHO I HEAR CONCERN IN THE COMMUNITY, I TRY MY BEST TO FIX IT AND BE MAKING PHONE CALLS THINGS LIKE THAT.

OR REACHING OUT TO PEERS, ELECTED OFFICIALS WHO CAN GIVE ME GUIDANCE, I DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GET THAT RESOLVED.

THAT'S THE MAIN GOAL.

>>Yunji: HOW WOULD YOU ANSWER THAT?

WHAT OF YOUR SEA JOB OR LIFE EXPERIENCES HELP YOU WORKS A A LAWMAKER.

>> I DO HAVE EXPERIENCE LEADING CHAIR OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF HAWAII ON TOP OF THAT, BEING MANAGING PARTNER OF LAW OFFICE, THAT DOES SPECIALIZE IN INSURANCE LAW AND REPRESENTING INSURANCE CARRIERS.

ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE CAN REALLY ADDRESS COST OF LIVING IS TAKING STEPS TO LOWER INSURANCE, INSURANCE COSTS, WALKING THROUGH THE DISTRIBUTION A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLE HOMEOWNERS INSURANDISTRICT KONA LOW F FLOOS HAVING THAT EXPERIENCE IN INSURANCE.

ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO EXPAND STATE INSURANCE FUND TO COVER HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE RECENTLY EXPANDED, TO COVER HURRICANE INSURANCE.

BUT NEXT STEP IS EXPANDING HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE.

PROVIDING AFFORDABLE OPTIONS FOR PEOPLE GETTING KICKED OF THEIR INSURANCE.

A LOT OF SINGLE WALL DWELLING UNITS GETTING KICKED OFF INSURANCE.

AND I THINK THAT ALL HELPS STABILIZE PRICE AS WELL AS GIVE PEOPLE AFFORDABLE OPTION FOR HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE.

>>Yunji: WHAT OF YOUR EXPERIENCE?

MENTIONED FARMING, MENTIONED ZEN CENTER AND WORKING AT THE LEGISLATURE ITSELF.

WHAT OF YOUR JOB EXPERIENCES WILL HELP YOU WORK IF YOU ARE ELECTION TO THIS SEAT.

>> QUITE A LOT DRAW FROM.

I DO BRING A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE OF SEEING ON GROUND HOW THINGS ARE AND HOW AFFORDABILITY CRISIS IS AFFECTING EVERYBODY.

I THINK AT THE LEGISLATURE REALLY OPENED I I MY EYES TO REALLY NOT ONLY HOW FAR A LONG, FAR AWAY THE STATE LEGISLATURE GOTTEN FROM THE PEOPLE, BUT ALSO, COMPLEXITY ACTUAL JOB ITSELF.

REQUIRES YOU TO UNDERSTAND MANY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES AND NOT NECESSARILY ASSIGN YOURSELF TO ONE OF THEM.

HOLD ALL OF THEM BALANCE THEM EVENLY.

TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE BEING COMPASSION AND UNDERSTAND WITH EVERY VOICE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

AND THEN ALSO, EVEN MORE, REQUIRES YOU TO BRIDGE THAT WITH OTHER LAWMAKERS AND TO UNDERSTAND WE HAVE SITUATION HERE, AND WE NEED TO LEARN HOW TO NAVIGATE THIS TOGETHER.

NEED THE POLICY EXPERTISE ONE HAND AND ALSO ABILITY TO ACTUALLY WORK WELL WITH PEOPLE.

AND OFTEN WE HAVE ONE OR THE OTHER.

I FIND THAT THROUGH MY EXPERIENCE TEACHING AT U.H., AMERICAN POLITICS AND ALSO HAVING THIS PLETHORA OF DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES I BRING THIS UNIQUE ABILITY THAT LEGISLATURE CRITICALLY NEEDS.

>>Yunji: HOW WITH ABOUT YOU?

WHAT OF YOUR JOB OR LIFE EXPERIENCES PREPARES YOU FOR THIS JOB.

BE DIS DIS DIS DEDISTANT SERVICN CORRECTIONS JUDICIAL, SO MUCH WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.

REALLY TRYING TO DO THE MOST WITH WHAT THEY HAVE.

I WOULD PROBABLY GIVEN MY YEARS OF YOUTH LEADER THE MOST CREDIT.

I'M ABOUT 13 OR 14 YEARS OF JUNIOR HIGH YOUTH MINISTRY EXPERIENCE.

I STARTED WHEN I WAS 15.

CONTINUED IT SINCE.

I WOULD SAY IF YOU EVER ENGAGED OR SPOKE WITH A 13-YEAR-OLD, AND JUST WORKED WITH THEM FOR SO LONG, REALLY GIVES YOU A LOT OF LIFE EXPERIENCE.

NAVIGATING CONVERSATIONS.

BUT JUST PARTNERSHIP IN THE COLLABORATION THAT I THINK WE ALL YEARN FOR AT THE STATE LEGISLATURE.

GOING OKAY, WHAT'S GOING ON?

WHAT ARE WE ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT?

NOT JUST HEARING ALL OF THE DEFINITELY GIVING SPACE TO HEAR WHY THINGS MATTER.

BUT ALSO, GOING OKAY, WE'RE GOING TO DO THAT NOW.

TOGETHER.

AND KIND OF A THINK THAT REALLY IMPACTS HOW I SEE POLICY AND HOW I WILL BE AS A REPRESENTATIVE.

IS GOING LIKE NO, ALL OPINIONS VALID.

HEAR WHAT'S GOING ON.

GETS TO HEART OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

I DEFINITELY CREDIT THAT TO MY JUNIOR HIGH YEARS AND ALL OF MY KIDS NOW THAT ARE DEFINITELY NOT KIDS, BECAUSE THEY'RE IN COLLEGE.

>>Yunji: ROUND IT OUT WITH YOU.

WHAT OF YOUR JOB EXPERIENCES OR LIFE EXPERIENCES HAVE PREPARED YOU FOR THIS MOMENT.

WORKED DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE P ACT AND BIOSECURITY FOR 4 YEARS AFTER THAT WORKED CITY COUNCIL DOING QUIFNT SERVICE, CONSTITUENT SERVICE FOR THE DISTRICT THAT I'M R RUNNING FOR GOT OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY KNOW THE ACTUAL ISSUES THAT NEIGHBORS HAVE BEEN DEALING FOR DECADES.

THAT'S WHAT REALLY INSPIRED ME TO GET MY MASTERS PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION.

REALLY TALKING STORY WITH NEIGHBORS, TO IDENTIFY GAPS CAN GOVERNMENT COME IN AND FILL THROUGH POLICY SOLUTIONS REALLY WHAT I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT.

AND I REALLY KNOW THAT'S GOING TO HELP ME IN BEING A LEADER.

>>Yunji: SOME FUN LIGHT LIGHTNING ROUND QUESTIONS.

TEN MINUTES LEFT.

MORE POLICY YOUTUBE VIEWER KIND OF PUKING BACK TO SOME OF WHAT'S BEEN SAID.

PUSHING BACK.

DO YOU REALIZE WITHOUT MONSTER HOMES MANY PEOPLE WATCHING COULD NO LONGER LIVE HERE.

PERMITTING ZONING MORE IMPORTANT THAN PEOPLE HAVING A PLACE TO LIVE?

ER ARE INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE.

WHAT B SAY TO THAT.

KEEP ANSWER BREASTFEED.-KEEP ANS BRIEF.

IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE MONSTER HOMES EXIST BECAUSE THERE IS DEMAND AND THERE IS FRUSTRATION OVER FINDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

THIS IS THE SOLUTION THAT MARKET IS COME UP WITH.

THAT AGAIN THE STATE IS NOT ABLE TO OFFER.

SO I VERY MUCH UNDERSTAND THAT.

BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, THIS IS WHERE PEOPLE GO TO SLEEP AT NIGHT.

HOW WE START OUR DAY.

HOW WE PLAN FOR A FUTURE.

HAVING ROOF OVER OUR HEAD.

SO I DEFINITELY SYMPATHIZE WHERE IT'S COMING FROM.

UNDERSTAND IS MYSELF.

WORK THREE JOBS TO BE ABLE TO BE ABLE TO LIVE HERE.

IT'S NOT EASY.

BUT GINNY DON'T THINK THAT IS THE SUSTAINABLE OUTCOME YEAR LOOKING FOR.

CONTINUE TO LET MONSTER HOMES, TAKE OVER OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, WE SIMPLY WON'T HAVE OUR NEIGHBORHOODS ANY MORE.

>>Yunji: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

>> REALLY THE ISSUE WITH MONSTER HOMES IS BUILDING WITHOUT PROPER PERMITTING.

SO AGAIN, AFFORDABLE HOUSING, SO IMPORTANT.

AND SHOWING PEOPLE HAVE A ROOF OVER THEIR HEAD SO IMPORTANT.

STRONG SUPPORT DEVELOPING QUALITY AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

AT THE SAME TIME, WAY WE GOT TO CRACK DOWN ON MONSTER HOMES IS REALLY PUT SOME TEETH ON LEGISLATION WHEN SOMEONE BUILDS WITHOUT PROPER PERMITTING THAT'S REALLY THE SOLUTION AND ISSUE THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESSER.

FINDING SPECIFIC STRONG FIRM LEGISLATION THAT PUNISHES DEVELOPERS, REPEAT OFFENDERS WHO CONTINUE TO BUILD WITHOUT PERMITTING.

>>Yunji: JUST TO READ THE QUESTION AGAIN.

FOR REFRESH.

GO WITH YOU.

DO YOU REALIZE WITHOUT THE MONSTER HOMES MANY OF THE PEOPLE WATCHING COULD NO LONGER LIVE HERE.

IS PERMITTING ZONING MORE IMPORTANT THAN PEOPLE HAVING A PLACE TO LIVE?

>> I'M GOING TO SAY, I FEEL LIKE HAWAII NEEDS TO HEAL.

AND SO WITH THE PROPER WHEN THEY'RE BUILDING, IT WOULD BE RIGHT TO GO ALONG WITH THE RIGHT PERMITTING.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I WOULD SAY I'M STILL THE MONSTER HOMES IS A NO ON OUR COMMUNITY.

>>Yunji: ANDREW, YOU UNDERSTAND FRUSTRATION THIS IS PERSON IS EXPRESSING.

HOW DO WE BALANCE THAT, NEED FOR PEOPLE HAVE HOUSING NOT THE CONGESTION THAT SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE EXPERIENCED.

>> RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT SELL ROA I RESPONSE DEVELOPMENTT IN HAWAII.

COMMUNITY DURING THE DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING PROCESS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD BOARDS, TO COME TO PUBLIC FORUMS TO REALLY VOLCANO HOUSE THEIR OPINION--VOICE THEIR OPINIONS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT BEING PROPOSAL 340E7D P. UNOFFICIAL COLLEGE TOWN WITH APPROPROXIMITY IT U.H.

MANOA A. GO TO GO DOOR-TO-DOOR RERPTS COLLEGE STUDENTS OF THE RENTERS.

FOR OUR RENTERS.

I WANT TO ADVOCATE FOR MAKE SURE THAT U.H.

HAS PROPER FUNDING FOR DORMS.

SO THAT THE OVER FLOW INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOODS IS A LITTLE MORE MANAGED.

>>Yunji: ANGIE WHAT DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT?

YOU DID MENTION AT THE TEMPERATURE TOP ONE OF OUR TOP ISSUES IS KIN CONGESTION STREET AND MONSTER HOMES CONTRIBUTE.

IT WITHOUT THIS MIGHT NOT HAVE A ROOF OVER MY HERD HEAD.

I THINK WE'RE NOT EARN CORNERING EVICTION.

SAYING ENCOURAGING EVICTION.

HOUSING THAT EXISTS WE WOULD LIKE THEM TO PAY PROPER FEES DEVELOPERS RRS ALSO I SAG, THOSE WHO ARE HOUSED, RIGHT NOW, WE WANT YOU TO STAY HOUSED.

WE WANT TO DO AWAY THAT'S NOT EXPLOITED.

AS JAKE SAID, FACT THAT THERE'S MORE MONEY MONSTER HOUSES DEMAND.

NO, MA'AM CONGRESSIONAL COMING YEAR WHAT HAPPENSFEDERALN THE CHOPPING BLOCK AND THREATENER A WHILE NOW.

WHEREVER, I HAD TO LEAVE MY JOB TO RA TO RUN FOR OFFICE, LAI HEARD, LARGE CONCERN THAT'S SSUBSIDIES WILL GET HIT.

ONLY LOOK FUN FUN FUNDING 30% OF THE VOUCHERS.

SISIZABLE AMOUNT.

A LOT OFF PEOPLE SEEKING HOUSING AND MONSTER HOMES WILL BE, OPTION.

SO IT'S IDEA THAT WE DON'T WANT TO BUILD MORE.

BUT WE ALSO VERY MUCH WANT TO FIX HOUSING DEMAND.

THAT IS EXPLOITING CONSUMER.

KEEP PEOPLE HOUSED.

>>Yunji: LET'S GO SOME FUN LIGHT 9LIGHTNING ROUND.
