Putting Experience to Work

Aloha Kākou,

I humbly ask for your vote to continue representing District 7 on the Hawai'i County Council. Born and raised on the Big Island, I have the values, vision, and vested interest in the future of our County. A passionate, professional, and proven public servant, my heart is dedicated to serving our people.

Working collaboratively, I've activated solutions to our homeless, housing and infrastructure issues. I'm committed to continuing to work hard for you; identifying innovative partnerships, strengthening support for small businesses, and revitalizing a resilient circular economy.

Me ka ha'a ha'a,

Rebecca
