Longtime ‘Fighter’ Shay Chan Hodges Takes on Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard

snip//

Chan Hodges said her life's work shows she's a fighter, recently working with nonprofit organizations and families to help pass Act 210 and address zoning laws related to childcare and agricultural land. She said she understands the very real problems Hawaii faces, including a lack of jobs, a housing crisis, and substance abuse.

'Course gabbard is all grandstanding on foxscrews etc

gabbard has most of the District fooled here on Kauai.. Shay got 14,000 votes though if I remember correctly.

gabbard needs to be primaried again in 2018.
