I think this is exactly what the Republican Party needs here in Hawaii.  Too often have they been hijacked by either mainland extremists who show up in Hawaii and decide to "get involved," throwing in their two cents based on political ideas they cultivated back in their home states, or by the whacko religious holy-rolling right that wants to do nothing but rant about abortions and gays going to hell. 

I don't know everyone on that slate but I know enough of them:  home-grown local boys and girls with a range of different experiences, political and otherwise, who can communicate the right kinds of ideas with other local people and get them to realize that this never-ending reign of the Democratic Party is HURTING us.

What has one-party control got us?  Rail.  Property Taxes exploding soon.   One of the highest costs of living.  One of the largest homeless problems in the nation.  Unions destroying the private sector.  Locals having to flee to Las Vegas.

Time for something new.
