Rep. Kirk Caldwell

Personally, not having Rep. Kirk Caldwell in the Hawaii State House of Representatives or politics is a big loss for the State of Hawaii.   I am really saddened with the result of his disqualification for the Honolulu City Council race, but I admire his strength and honor to not appeal the decision.  He is smart, full of positive energy, and just a great person.  When I served as Vice Speaker, I got much closer to him because he served as Majority Leader until present, and together we served on Speaker Calvin K.Y. Say’s leadership team.  Right before his disqualification for the Council race, he helped me lift my spirits.  I sincerely appreciate his friendship.
