The 2012 election presents an opportunity for Native Hawaiians and all of the state of Hawai'i to select who will represent us at the federal level.

OHA.org’s voter education section presents the views of candidates on issues of concern to Native Hawaiians.  Each candidate was given the opportunity to videotape their answers to three questions and their responses appear here unedited.  We have also included their written responses to questions posed in the July issue of Ka Wai Ola.

The opinions expressed here are those of the candidate and do not represent the views of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.
