Our pathway to success: Your help TODAY will make it happen
Aloha,
It is critical that I let you know why we remain confident of our campaign's "pathway to success" and victory on September 18th despite early polls that did not show me as the front-runner.
Our base tells us that we can and will:
1) Win solidly on the neighbor-islands.
I am the only major candidate from the neighbor-islands and have a solid base on Kauai. Recent polls indicate that I am the strongest neighbor-island candidate.
2) Win solidly the core active liberal/progressive Democratic vote statewide. My track record and endorsement by Progressive Democrats of Hawaii and Americans for Democratic Action support this expectation
3) Win solidly the green, sustainability and energy independence vote statewide. My endorsement by the Sierra Club, personal support by statewide environmental/energy advocates and legislative record support this outcome.
4) Win solidly the GLBT vote statewide.
The endorsement by various GLBT groups and my acknowledged leadership in openly advocating equality for all support this outcome
5) Win a strong majority of votes from teachers and their families statewide.
The endorsement of the Hawaii State Teachers Association supports this outcome. Teachers are actively phone banking and sign-holding in support of our campaign.
6) Do well on Oahu in the general population with the votes of the remaining Oahu Democratic candidates effectively splitting up the Oahu vote.
The endorsement of Local 5 hotel workers, the Hawaii Nurses Association and others will strongly contribute to this outcome
7) Raise and spend the funds needed to get the message out strongly.
We have raised and spent approximately $300,000 on the campaign to date. We are being supported by over 1,000 individual contributors, dwarfing that of all other LG candidates and clearly showing strong grass-roots support.
We are only 30 contributors short of reaching the $50,000 minimum threshold to begin obtaining State matching funds up to $85,000. Three strong television advertisements have been produced and have begun airing statewide.
This is our pathway to success. But we still need to find 30 people to contribute $100 to our campaign today in order to meet the critical minimum thresh-hold needed to make this happen.
Congresswoman Mazie Hirono won her "crowded primary" four years ago with less than 21% of the vote. Recent polls show approximately 50% of voters are either undecided or uninformed about the candidates.
We can win but we need your help today. Please join us and be one of the 30 people we need to contribute $100 online today or tell a friend why they should support Hooser for Lieutenant Governor.
Sincerely,
