A number of people have asked me on how they can send donations to my campaign to help in my re-election to the Hawaii State House of Representatives.  I wish campaigns didn’t cost so much money.  With inflation, the cost of printing, mailing, advertising, supplies, and other necessary expenses for the campaign has risen.  For example, it now costs me $3,000 to print and mail one brochure to my district.  In 2002, it used to cost me $2,000.  I currently have over $30,000 in my campaign.  I hope to raise between $40,000 to $50,000 for this year’s campaign.  In my five years in the House, I have walked the district in some areas up to seven times and in other areas, at least five times.  I plan to continue my grassroots campaigning style.To support my campaign, you can do the following:
