| Candidate for Lieutenant Governor Wants Assignment to Lead Hawaii to Energy Independence |
[Jun. 11th, 2009|03:10 pm] |
HONOLULU, HI - State Senate Majority Leader Gary Hooser kicked-off his statewide campaign for 2010 Lieutenant Governor before a packed crowd at a fundraising rally held on Tuesday, June 9th at the DAV Hall - Ke'ehi Lagoon on O'ahu. The candidate told friends, family and supporters that he has his eye on one assignment over all others:
"In a state with abundant sunshine, steady trade winds and the potential for wave, ocean and geo-thermal energy, we should clearly be the world's leader in the development, testing, use, and export of renewable energy technology," said Hooser. "If elected, this will be the first job I request of the new Governor. I will ask him or her to let me help lead the way in making Hawai'i energy self-sufficient."
Hooser also touched upon other issues about which he feels most strongly, stressing his belief in equality for all, his support of universal access to healthcare and education, his belief that drug addiction is primarily a public health issue and the urgent need to build environmental awareness and energy independence.
Acknowledging that his opponents may very well voice similar positions he made the case for his candidacy: "Besides the experience, business, family, living through with the community the impact of two hurricanes on Kauai, council and state legislative experience; the progressive values and policy positions, I am different because I have been tested. I have proven my resolve. I have proven that I am who I say I am and I have proven that I will fight and stand for what is right and just," he said.
He reminded supporters of the comprehensive list of ways in which he had already acted upon Hawai'i's most critical issues, citing his recent efforts in regards to civil unions, his active support of nurses, hotel workers and teachers, and the authoring and successful passing of the nation's first solar mandate bill.
"I am here tonight to say to you that I believe sincerely, that with new leadership, new energy and a new commitment to the future, we can achieve the Hawai'i and the future that we all want and deserve. And I am here tonight to ask you to join me in making these dreams a reality," Hooser said in his remarks.
The first of its kind in Hawai'i, Senator Gary Hooser's campaign for 2010 Lieutenant Governor is a carbon neutral campaign. A longtime advocate of sustainability and the environment in the Senate, Hooser has committed to offset all C02 generated by his campaign by purchasing carbon credits from local companies doing reforestation and clean energy development. "These efforts are my way of affirming my long-standing commitment to doing all that I can to protect the environment and foster a greener economy," Hooser said.
The Friends of Gary Hooser will be hosting several meet and greet/fundraising events on Kaua'i, Maui and Big Island over the next three months. For more information, please visit www.garyhooser.com. |
