I’m not a Politician
I’m running for Congress as a 30-yr resident of Hawaii. I’m concerned with the direction of both our State and our Country. In my view, our elected leadership does not represent Hawaii’s interest in Washington D.C. I believe it is time for average citizens to step up, and that is what I am doing.
You will see throughout this website that I am not a polished politician. I am a father, Grandfather, Son, and a Brother that shares the same concerns we all have.
Please take a few minutes to review my life experience. I think you will find that my experience gives me a unique perspective, along with solutions, on the issues we are facing in our State and Country today.

Setting up Medical Clinics in impoverished locations.
First mission trip to Uganda took place in 2005, from there over a dozen additional trips have taken place.
Conrad Met Pastor Chris Nkussi in Uganda. Pastor Nkussi’s Vision for the clinic in a predominantly Muslim slum was caring for local population medically.
This effort was stifled during the COVID lockdowns and things shifted to feeding programs.
When restrictions were loosened, an additional outreach was provided. That is promoting and teaching trade skills such as sewing and tailoring to women as a vocation. These skills would provide revenue to provide for their families.
We are now entering our 17th year of partnership.

REPLACE THE CURRENT LEADERSHIP
There has been decades and decades of one-party rule in the State of Hawai’i. It’s time to bring a balance of power back. We all long for bringing a genuine sense of fairness and integrity back into our government. We need leaders that remember whom they serve. We need public SERVANTS that respect the deep and rich traditions of the people’s and culture of Hawai’i.
We have all seen and felt the effects of a steady stream of news stories centering around investigations, resignations, arrests, and general loss of confidence.
The Biden administration and our congressional leadership support policies that are driving prices for everything higher than they have ever been…and they aren’t doing anything to stop it.
Sensible economic policy will make Hawaiʻi livable again. Our current leadership has repeatedly voted against the interests of the Hawaiʻian People, and in favor of lobbyist in Washington D.C.
Competent leadership will develop and advocate for policies that lower gas prices, lower food prices, and make homes affordable again.
Hawaiʻi is America’s buffer against the world when it comes to conflict with China, Russia, North Korea or Iran.
Because of Hawaiʻi's geographical significance, we must insist that our Federal Government prioritize the security of our Great State.
The Biden Administration's policies, and Hawaiʻi's Congressional Leadership's support of them, have destabilized the world and unnecessarily left Hawaiʻi vulnerable.
Hawaiʻi's current leadership is beholden to the Biden administration and their failed energy policies.
The security of Hawaiʻi depends on America being energy independent. We do not support sacrificing the American economy and therefore our security.
Competent leaders know that energy independence and responsible environmental stewardship do not need to be mutually exclusive.
The Country's response to the COVID Pandemic was controlled by the CDC and other so-called experts. In the beginning, everyone was scared, so it made sense to rely upon them; however, we are finding out, almost two-years later, that they have mismanaged almost every aspect of the response.
The health and welfare of the People of Hawaiʻi will depend on how our Government chooses to respond to the next wave. At this time there are no indications that they will do anything different than the last time, and new lockdowns and mandates will crush Hawaiʻi.
All the evidence points to there being a better way. Hawaiʻians need to be made aware of the treatment options available on the market. With proper treatment protocols, Hawaiʻi can live free and without fear. We can all go about our daily lives knowing that we have what we need to combat this virus.
