The time has finally arrived to place our votes for the candidates that we believe will do the most for us, represent our interests well, fight for important issues, lead our communities in a positive direction, as well as listening and responding to us.
I know its been a long and confusing campaign season full of promises and attacks. Most of us are ready for it to be over! But before placing your votes, I'd like to let you know why State Senator Mike Gabbard deserves to be re-elected.
He started out seeking to become the Senator for District 19 on the leeward side of Oahu four years ago by going door-to-door--actually knocking on every door--and asking people for their votes. He faced more than a few unfriendly people, even more unfriendly dogs, and heard the thoughts of everyone he could reach. Armed with this first-hand knowledge of how the ordinary residents feel about our community, along with his experience representing much of the same area as a City Councilman, he set about to make some changes after winning the State Senate seat.
He has brought about positive change in securing much needed funding for projects that will improve our community. As the Chair of the Energy and Environment Committee, he has been in a perfect situation to ensure that the development that is occurring in our area is utilizing alternative energy sources as much as possible. Senator Gabbard is leading us towards a more sustainable community, that provides a higher quality of life.
Perhaps Mike's most important asset, though, is that his door is always open. As I have talked to his constituents from District 19, as well as people outside his district, I have heard over and over again that they are impressed with how accessible and responsive he is. Senator Gabbard has won the support of many constituents purely by the hard work that he does to respond to their questions, suggestions, and problems.
I spoke to a man recently who told me that he doesn't agree with Senator Gabbard on most of the social issues, but he is voting for Mike and asking his friends and family to do the same because Senator Gabbard has time and time again bent over backwards to help him when no one else in government would.
Another constituent was blown away that Senator Gabbard called her from his cell phone while on the mainland 30 minutes after receiving her email inquiry. That kind of service to the community is unprecedented!
For a Senator who will listen, quickly respond, and take effective action for any and all constituents, Senator Mike Gabbard is the only choice.
