Yes.  Awesome

Not many great choices sadly.  I'm going for newcomers with a "?" over any incumbent, exception would be Sam Slom....

Looks like a bad state report card. . .  >:(

Not that the grades were a surprise.

I just got this email too.

Any direction is better than a shot in the dark.

Someone pointed out that the list of candidates is incomplete.  Anyone know about that?

....Yes, except not all candidates are listed, for example, there are no (L) candidates, I know for a fact that Senate 1 has a 100% Pro-gun candidate, Senate 2 has a pro-gun candidate, House 3 has a 100% NO compromise pro-gun candidate, House 19 has a 100% pro gun candidate...all not mentioned...The more pro-gun candidates are listed (no matter their party affiliation) the more we can advance the cause...

I assumed that is why many have a "?" next to their name.

Until he signed the most recent debacle into law, he wasn't all that bad when it comes to 2A.

It's going to be a rough road here in Hawaii.  There are very few leaders that will be consistent in their position on 2A.  Even many (R)'s can't be trusted fully.

How the heck are we supposed to make a change?  The more I ask people if they're registered to vote, the more I get irritated. I'm amazed, but not at the same time. #luckywelive hawaii

Senate Dist. 13, is that Kim "Coco" Iwamoto running against Rhoads?  This Iwamoto guy was the wahine who was on the BOE board years ago.  Not sure if he completed his change to one wahine yet.
Seems like a real liberal guy.
Hope Tam wins but his history might work against him.  Plenty Chinese in that area so he might have a chance.

Does any one think Gabbard may change her thoughts on 2a now that she has someone running against her?

If she does, she'll do and say whatever to get the votes ;D, then do the political shuffle (aka, backsldie).  >:D

I got 2 pro2a guys for Aiea house.  Kong with an A, and Arakaki who is probably an A also.

  Regarding Aiea (also my district):

I know Tracy Arakaki had the hawaii shooting sports show but be careful there.

Quote From Star Advertiser:

“My family has been lifelong Democrats,” Arakaki said. “I was the former precinct president for the Democratic Party for Aiea District. Strong Democratic values is what I believe in. I didn’t change parties. I’ve always been a Democrat.”

Sam Kong:

Even as the incumbent, Kong is an unconventional candidate. The only money he has spent on his campaign is $500 of his own, on banners that, he said, “I can use forever.”

Added Kong, “I accept no donations and I seek no endorsements. That way, my constituents know I’m beholden to no one. … Everyone complains about how politicians are bought or influenced by money and outside powers that be or whatever. I don’t want to be like that.”

Senate District 13 (Liliha, Palama, Iwilei, Kalihi, Nu‘uanu, Pacific Heights, Pauoa, Lower Tantalus, Downtown) - Formerly held by Suzanne Chun Oakland

Keone Nakoa is a friend of mine.  I talked to him quite a bit about laws relating to firearms and he is cognizant of the major issues.  He does recognize that ownership of firearms is a constitutionally protected right.

Democrat does not always mean anti-2a.  For example, look at Ken Ito.   But they do seem more like the exception than the rule.

Tracy Arakaki is a pro-2a guy and has done stuff in support for 2a, at the gun shows, and even the SSH TV show.
Sam Kong is a great guy and also pro-2a.

I  wish we had this kind of problem in other districts. 

Get to know their stances on other issues as I think that would be the deciding factors for them.   Good luck to both candidates and vote for your preference.

Yeah. I know Tracy is a 2A supporter.

I was just taken a little aback by how thick he laid it on in the press about his strong Democrat values, from a family of lifelong Democrats, former president of his precinct Democratic Party.

Sure made it sound like he'll follow the Party line.
