Public safety continues to be a top priority for me and the neighborhood. People need to feel safe walking around and in their homes. At the same time, we need to do more on our recidivism rates to stop the revolving door of inmates going in and out of prison. We have to do more and here is what I will continue to support and fight for: 

 

- Rehabilitation and job training for current inmates

- Support community policing efforts

- Support and expand the Safe and Sound Waikiki

- Addiction treatment and mental health

- Opposing bills that would make our neighborhood less safe. 

 

Since 2021, we have done a lot for public safety, and we have made a lot of progress. That progress is currently at risk due to worsening economic conditions and cuts to medicaid and services by the Trump administration. As your representative, I will continue to fight for the safety of our neighbors regardless of the obstacles or challenges.
