This past several months, especially the last two weeks were very busy.
For my re-election campaign to represent Waipahu in the the Hawaii State House of Representatives, I finished walking the district and began my final sign waving.
I presented a number of certificates at ceremonies for the technology industry, retail merchants, Hawaii International Film Festival, the North America Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce, etc. I also attended a lot of meetings, luncheons, and dinners.
I hosted a reception for young filmmakers that had films at the Hawaii International Film Festival. I am supporting my friend Stacey who is in the process of producing a full feature movie on the 442nd Regimental Combat Team.
I am working on a number of bills for the 2007 legislative session. I am especially excited about my agriculture bill that intends to protect important agricultural land.
I am a member of the Identity Theft Task Force created by the Hawaii State Legislature.
I have been attending courses to prepare for the Hawaii realtor license examination. I will be taking this examination right after the General Election.
Finally, I have been maintaining my small business.
