Aloha 'Aina, Imua Kakou!
With twenty-two people running for seven county council seats and the position of mayor open, it is critical that the community knows where candidates stand on the important issues that affect all of us: the economy, land use, development, energy, transportation, waste, affordable housing, and the environment.
Hear from mayoral and council candidates on Tuesday, August 5th at the Eco-Roundtable Mayoral and Council Candidates Forum at the Convention Hall in Lihu`e. The public will have a chance to meet-and-greet with candidates from 5:30-6 PM and a facilitated question-answer forum will begin promptly at 6 PM.
All mayoral and a majority of council candidates have confirmed their participation in this event.
The forum is being hosted by the Eco-Roundtable, a network of over 50 sustainability-oriented organizations. Sustainability encompasses economic self-sufficiency and diversification, environmental health, social wellbeing, and perpetuation of culture. Questions have been formulated by representatives from organizations participating in the Eco-Roundtable, as well as by representatives from the agricultural, business, and Native Hawaiian communities.
The candidates’ forum is free and open to the public. No tickets are necessary but non-perishable food items for the Kaua`i Food Bank will gratefully be accepted at the door.
The forum will be recorded and re-broadcasted on KKCR and Ho`ike public televisions until the elections. Candidates written responses to questions will be made available following the forum at EcoRoundtable.Org..
