I am running because serving the membership is still my kuleana (responsibility). As a past president of HGEA, we faced and overcame many challenges during the unprecedented times of the COVID-19 pandemic. I want to continue the fight and representation.

The membership and HGEA has emerged from the pandemic stronger and more unified. We were able to restart most programs and services. I want to fight to protect and advance the rights and benefits that our members have earned and deserve.
