COST OF LIVING​

RELIEF WITH REAL IMPACT

​

Gary’s economic plan is designed to create tangible, immediate relief for working families and Kūpuna:

 

• Eliminate the General Excise Tax (GET) on food and medicine.

• Freeze property taxes for Kūpuna at retirement and on their primary residence.

• Create tax exemptions for Native Hawaiian homeowners.

• Ensuring nutritious school lunches for the keiki of Hawai'i while reducing the cost for families.

​

Why it matters: It allows families to stay in Hawai‘i, contribute to the local economy, and live with security.

This is more than relief — it’s empowerment.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING​

FEE-SIMPLE HOUSING AT SCALE

​

Through the Housing Master Plan, Gary will deliver 15,000 fee-simple homes priced between $400K–$600K,

targeted for teachers, nurses, Kūpuna, and working families.

 

Execution includes:

• Land reform and permitting streamlining to cut years off project timelines.

• Elimination of redundant regulations that stall housing supply.

• End no-bid contracts to ensure fairness and cost-efficiency.

• Housing Enterprise Zones to encourage community-led development.

 

Why it matters: This plan creates generational stability and keeps our workforce here — not priced out to the mainland.

EDUCATION REFORM THAT WORKS FOR HAWAI‘I

​

Our keiki deserve more than standardized testing; they deserve education that prepares them for life.

​

Gary’s plan includes:

• Financial literacy & problem-solving in every classroom.

• Hawaiian language instruction beginning in 3rd grade.

• Merit pay for teachers to reward excellence.

• Proficiency-based graduation, supported by tutoring — replacing the “test-and-graduate” model.

• Local budget autonomy for each island to meet unique community needs.

 

Why it matters: Education must serve our local culture, economy, and future — not just standardized metrics.

NATIVE HAWAIIAN

JUSTICE & PRESERVATION

​

Moving forward with aloha means honoring our past and empowering our future:

 

• Form a Hawaiian-led, deadline-oriented action group for justice and transparency.

• Renegotiate Hawaiian Homes Act terms — addressing blood quantum, land rights, and fairness in access.

• Advance reconciliation through actionable, measurable policies.

• Integrate Hawaiian language & cultural education into all schools statewide.

 

Why it matters: Our cultural heritage is not an accessory — it is the foundation of Hawai‘i’s identity and unity.

END THE CORRUPTION.

REBUILD ALOHA.

​

Trust in leadership begins with transparency.

 

Gary will:

• Establish a Government Transparency Office to make spending, contracts, and decisions visible to the public.

• Require annual audits of all public-private partnerships and government departments.

• Forward all corruption cases directly to the Attorney General for swift action.

 

Why it matters: Taxpayers deserve to know exactly how their money is used and to see swift consequences for misconduct.
