Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
The candidate has supported targeted tax measures such as expanding the state research & development tax credit and has sponsored legislation aimed at stabilizing markets (e.g., property insurance) to reduce costs for homeowners. Public materials emphasize supporting local businesses, entrepreneurship, and a resilient economy but do not present a comprehensive stance on tax rates for individuals or proposals to raise or cut broad tax brackets.
Healthcare
Supports expanding access to affordable, high-quality healthcare for all residents and strengthening public programs (Medicaid) and services; has worked on legislation and policies to lower healthcare costs and support providers who serve Medicaid patients.

Immigration & Border
Supports limiting expansion of immigration enforcement at the local level and opposes federal travel bans that restrict immigration from Pacific Island nations; advocates for humane, family‑focused immigration policies. Sponsors state legislation that would prohibit local agencies from taking on delegated federal immigration‑enforcement authority and has publicly condemned federal travel‑ban expansions as discriminatory and harmful to Pacific Islander families.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports protecting and expanding access to abortion and helped pass state legislation to explicitly establish and shield abortion access in Hawaii after the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Co-sponsored and publicly supported SB1 (2023) which affirms the state will not deny or interfere with a pregnant person's right to obtain an abortion and includes protections for patients and providers. Campaign materials state he played a central role in passing that legislation.
Climate & Energy
Supports renewable energy expansion, carbon reduction, and climate resilience policies for Hawai‘i; has sponsored and celebrated legislation addressing climate-related insurance and infrastructure resilience. Has criticized utility actions seen as harmful to ratepayers and has pushed for accountability in the wake of wildfire impacts.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports expanded firearm restrictions such as banning unserialized “ghost guns” and opposed measures to expand lawful possession of assault-style firearms, while operating within a lawmaker role rather than a campaign-only statement.
