OY. Da Mahya has paved our roads and moved mostly in the right direction w/regard to rail and the homeless. He has also championed reproductive justice for women and civil rights for LGBTQ folks throughout his political career. And if you don't think those issues bleed over into county politics, you are delusional. DJou is an anti-choice, homophobic, anti-labor Republican. He is far more in the hip-pocket of the remnants of the Big Five than Caldwell could ever be.  Developers and associated businesses have far too much influence on ALL our politicians. So we must choose those who will do their best for average resident in Hawaii and NO I don't believe the lip service that Republicans pay towards "the middle class". DJou, like most of his Republican colleagues, believes that the God of the Market Place will fix everything. That is why they consistently oppose a raise in the minimum wage, tax credits for the poor, paid family leave, etc. Vote Caldwell. Please!
