"As I've been knocking on doors throughout the district, I've met many wonderful people and gotten an "earful" about community concerns and improvements that need to be made. Here are some of the folks I've met." - Mike

“Of any politicians I have ever known, Senator Gabbard has impressed me as being the most honest, trustworthy and hardest working of all.

In the fall of 2007 he personally intervened to find out why our new subdivision was built without mailboxes. The new residents of Kaupe'a were required to sign for postal boxes that were located 2 miles away at the Kapolei Branch Postal Unit. This was totally unacceptable to every resident! He resolved the issue by having the Postal authorities build a group of cluster boxes located in the center of the community. Needless to say, to this day, the entire community of over 350 residents are very happy to have this service. Especially the people who had no transportation to check their mail. It brings the community together as they can walk to and from the boxes and visit with each other along the way.

I would also like to acknowledge the Senator's work in the area of renewable energy. The satisfaction of knowing that our elected official is working hard to make our community a more energy efficient place to live in is why I will vote for Mike Gabbard.”

“We love Mike because he listens. We were upset when he changed parties. We are staunch Republicans but after talking to Mike and, more importantly, watching his voting record, it convinced us that he cares more about his constituents than about the party. It is a pleasure to be able to call him our senator and our friend.”
