2018 Hawaii District 2 US Representative Candidates
(R) EVANS, Brian
An author and singer, Brian Evans decided to run for Congress on January 18th, 2017. His reasoning was quite simple. “If you do nothing, then that’s what happens.”
We appreciate your dropping by to learn more about this exciting new candidate, and we invite you to browse the pages to get a sense of who Brian Evans is, and what he stands for.
Please contribute whatever you can, and let us elect a voice that is most definitely needed to the United States Congress! Do not allow the (R) sway you. As Brian Evans says, “I realize Hawaii is primarily a democratic state, but you need to give me the opportunity to show you that I am not your typical republican. If I don’t deliver in two years, I won’t even run again. I will be the voice for you, not partisan politics. As they say, “Actions Speak Louder Than Words.” Give me the chance to show the world that Hawaii matters on the world stage, and not just because of whale season.”
Both republican and democratic governors in Hawaii have issued Brian Evans with three Proclamations for his work to develop tourism in the state of Hawaii. He is not your typical republican candidate. He is a work horse that will fight to get the job done. Give him two years to prove it. https://www.brianevansforcongress.com/home
(D) GABBARD, Tulsi
Tulsi learned from a young age the importance of serving others and living aloha. Inspired and motivated by this spirit of aloha, Tulsi took this lesson to heart, and has tried to live her life dedicated to serving the people of Hawai`i.
From a very young age, Tulsi has shown a passion for public service. Her commitment to serving the community and making a positive impact has influenced every major decision in her life. Her service has included working with at-risk youth, joining the Hawaii National Guard and deploying twice to the Middle East, being elected to the Hawaii State Legislature and the Honolulu City Council, having the honor of serving Hawaii's people in the U.S. Senate as legislative aide to Senator Daniel K. Akaka, continuing her ongoing work and leadership on environmental issues and projects, and now serving in Congress as the Representative for Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District. In 2002, Tulsi, at 21 years old, became the youngest person ever elected to the Hawai’i State Legislature. In this unprecedented election to the Hawai’i State House of Representatives, Tulsi was chosen to represent District 42 in West O’ahu. She was an effective, admired, and hard-working legislator who served on the Education, Higher Education, Tourism, and Economic Development committees. Serving on the House Armed Services committee and House Foreign Affairs committee, Tulsi brings to Washington an impressive list of credentials and achievements, a lifetime of real-world experiences compressed into three decades, and a deep storehouse of personal strengths and leadership qualities. Whether it’s advocating to help keep the U.S. out of another counterproductive regime change war in the Middle East, making sure Puna residents had a road in and out when the lava hit, working to strengthen Hawaii’s economy, protecting our precious environment, improving our keiki’s education, taking care of our veterans, or ensuring our kupuna’s benefits are protected, Tulsi is committed to serving the people of Hawai`i and America. https://www.votetulsi.com/tulsi-gabbard
