Real Stories, Real People: Honoring Native Hawaiian Voices
Gary Cordery is committed to addressing Native Hawaiian issues with respect, cultural understanding, and action that uplifts and empowers our community.
Listening First, Leading with Respect.
From the shores of Waimea to the valleys of Hāna, Gary has spent time meeting with Native Hawaiian leaders, cultural practitioners, and families who carry the traditions, history, and values of these islands. These conversations are not political checkboxes—they are the foundation of how he shapes his vision for Hawai‘i’s future.
Cultural Preservation as a Priority
Gary believes that protecting sacred sites, supporting ʻōlelo Hawai‘i (Hawaiian language) programs, and preserving cultural practices is not optional—it is essential. Cultural heritage is the heartbeat of Hawai‘i, and it must be safeguarded for future generations.
Equitable Access to Resources**
From land use to water rights, Gary is committed to ensuring Native Hawaiian communities have fair and transparent access to the resources they are entitled to. This includes prioritizing housing opportunities for Native Hawaiian families and supporting initiatives that address long-standing inequities.
Empowering Native Hawaiian Leadership
Representation matters. Gary is dedicated to ensuring Native Hawaiian voices are not only heard but are central to decision-making at the state level. Empowerment begins with trust, respect, and shared responsibility.
