Is it time to change the music?
I support Kim Coco Iwamoto’s run for office. When I say that “she loves Hawaii like we do,” I hope those words are music to your ears.

We must put Hawaii’s children, families, seniors, environment and all the people, places and ideals that we hold dear first. Our values and future must be represented at the Hawaii State Legislature and it starts with your vote. Vote for Kim Coco Iwamoto for District 26.

We can no longer turn a blind eye to injustice
Last week one of the largest protests marched through our district. More than 10,000 neighbors, friends and family affirmed that Black Lives Matter. 

Racism is embedded in the U.S. Constitution, wherein  black Americans were counted as three-fifths of a person. Racism is evident in our modern institutions: the school-to-prison pipeline, the over-arrest and over-penalty of black citizens and other people of color along with the number of people killed by law enforcement. 

Even in the Aloha State, we must work to address both racism and abuses of power. In 2015, Hawaii ranked “ fifth in the U.S. for the number of people killed by police on a per capita basis. Read this recent article.

Call me Mishka
Mishka Sulva has a passion for education and that’s what he aims to do as field director for Kim Coco’s campaign. He educates all who live from McCully to Bethel Street of these two things. “Power lies in the action of many,” he says. “When people come together, we can make change happen.”

So what moves Mishka to lead the campaign’s friend finding initiatives? “Kim Coco’s story is inspirational. She has overcome adversity, is morally centered and her experience with the department of education and civil rights is unparalleled. When you think about who should represent your interests, you want someone who is well rounded and can relate to people across a broad socio-economic spectrum.”

After several years in Japan as a teacher, Mishka now works at Waikiki Elementary School and previously worked for a nonprofit organization serving immigrants, refugees and low-income families. He devotes his time outside of his work to lead the charge of campaign community outreach.
