He who fears criticism is hopeless. Only those who do things are criticized. To hesitate for fear of criticism is cowardly. If our cause is right be not afraid of criticism, advocate it, expound it, and, if need be, fight for it.

Hawaii Republicans Looking for Good Candidates

Submitted by HPI on Tue, 06/29/2010 - 22:51

Filing deadline is Tuesday, July 20, 2010

Hawaii's Republican Party is asking the public for their kokua in filling candidate slots for the upcoming primary and general elections.

Hawaii GOP executive director Dylan Nonaka sent out an email on June 17 asking recipients to either urge people they know who would make good candidates to run for office or to step up to the plate themselves and run on the state Republican platform principles of Liberty, Limited Government, Individual Responsibility, Fiscal Accountability and Equality of Opportunity.

Nonaka particularly noted a large number of state house and senate seats with no Republican candidate at all at the time. He listed:

State Senate District 9- St Louis Heights to portions of Kapahulu
State Senate District 10- Portion of McCully to portion of Makiki
State Senate District 11- Portion of McCully, Tantalus, portion of Makiki, Punchbowl to portion of Honolulu
State Senate District 14- Kahili Kai to Kahili Valley and portions of Kalihi, Fort Shafter, Moanalua Valley, Aiea and Halawa Valley

State House District 12- Portion of Makawao District from Pukalani to Ulupalakua
State House District 13- Islands of Kahoolawe, Molokini, Lanai, Molokai and Maui (portions of Makawao and Hana Districts)
State House District 14- Hanalei District from Haena to Kilauea, Kawaihau from Anahola to Waipouli and portion of Lihue District (Wailua House Lots)

In addition, wrote Nonaka, "There are also open non-partisan OHA, Board of Education and City Council positions in all Counties."

GOP Chairman Jonah Kaauwai later wrote, "From that email alone we have gotten 6 outstanding individuals to step forward to become a candidate for office."

The Party is currently running ads asking members of the public to help give the people a choice by running for office. Says Kaauwai, "Candidates have until July 20 to file their papers, so the time is now to act. . . . We must challenge every Democrat this year because their policies of high taxes, wasteful government spending and obedience to Union Bosses will only end if we replace them."
