I am so grateful for the honor of serving as your city councilmember for the past four years. I was sworn into office on January 2021 and was just re-elected to my second and final term to represent the Westside from ‘Ewa to Ka’ena Point.
After serving four years as a State House Representative (2014 -2018) for the area from Kalaeloa to Ma’ili, I did not know what it would feel like to represent a much larger area. My district covers three State Senate districts and five State House districts with a little over 137,000 people.
Our office vision is to raise the standard of service, work collaboratively, eliminate excuses, and bring measurable and consistent results. We have applied our vision to all of our efforts, policy proposals, and projects. We couldn’t do what we do without strong and active community members fighting for what we need and rallying our voices for the Westside!
