Aloha, neighbor! My name is Jordan and I'm a farmer, former teacher, environmental educator, writer, filmmaker, and community organizer. But most importantly, I believe you and I can work toward a Hawaiʻi where housing, healthcare, and healthy food are guaranteed for all of us, and I'm ready to fight and strategize to make it happen.
Let's cultivate a Hawai'i where our keiki can once again swim and even drink from the Nuʻuanu Stream. Let's create a Hawaiʻi where we only need to work one job and each household has access to free keiki & kūpuna care. We can achieve these things, but we can't do them in isolation. When we come together and assert our power and demands against the corruption controlling our livelihoods, we can create a world where we don't have to watch our family, friends, and neighbors keep suffering. As a movement, we can sow seeds of hope instead.
That's why this won't be a typical campaign— and I won't be a typical senator. I know that if I only win by talking to the 30% of voters who vote every year, I won't have won at all. To truly create the conditions for change, we need a majority of the hard-working people of our district to collaborate and build a Hawaiʻi that we can be proud to leave to our keiki, together.
I look forward to getting to know you more, see you on the campaign trail!
Our communities deserve to live free from fear. That means safe streets, school zones, parks, and public spaces. By supporting investments in education, community programs, social work, health services and trauma-informed practices, we will tackle the root causes of crime. We are committed to fearlessly organizing against abuses by ICE and corruption from the current administration. Human needs are human rights, and so are the rights of the life of the ʻĀina. That's why we are focused on ensuring essentials like food security and clean water infrastructure are met across the islands for generations to come.
Housing should be accessible to all locals. Period. By investing in land trusts and other community management development models, we can make this a reality. No more locals moving away, and no more fake "affordable" housing. We believe tenants should be protected, homeowners should be supported, and everyone should be covered by thorough and up to date disaster preparedness in our changing conditions and climate. We are committed to the retention of Hawaiian lands to Kānaka Maoli and any public trust uses which include the provision of housing.
Investing in our keiki and cherishing our kūpuna is a sign of a thriving society with Aloha at its heart. We absolutely believe Hawaiʻi can ensure affordable care to everyone from keiki to kūpuna. Through smart financial policy that prioritizes early childhood and elder care, we can create a system that provides free keiki and kūpuna care for everyone in Hawaiʻi.
