There isn't a better candidate running for Congress than Kaniela Ing-- not a better candidate in Hawaii or a better candidate running anywhere. On of the top members of the state legislature, he has a record, not just on policy, but on courageous leadership that qualifies him for Congress. He's the kind of candidate who will make Congress a better place-- or die trying. He's not the kind of guy who's going to sit quietly in the back of the room while Pelosi, Hoyer and the corrupted establishment tell him what their rules are.Take a look at the clip up top. Yeah, Kaniela wants to impeach Trump... but that's not what his career in public service is all about. Every Democrat running should put out a video like the one above, looking straight into the camera and-- with no bullshit-- explain to the voters exactly what they'll get by voting for him or her. At around the one-minute mark, the clip is what makes a Democratic congressional race clarifying. Listen to him speak. This isn't a New Dem or Blue Dog from the Republican wing of the Democratic Party. This is what a Democrat from the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party sounds like.Kaniela isn proud to be the first elected official in Hawaii to call for Trump's impeachment-- just as he was proud to be the first elected official in Hawaii to endorse Bernie for president. He wants to be clear with voters though, this his race isn't just about impeaching Trump. He lays out 9 core issues he's running on:
• Universal Healthcare• Debt-free college• Banning private prisons• Ending reckless wars• $3 trillion infrastructure/jobs plan• Affordable Housing• Living Wages• Legalizing Adult-use Cannabis• Campaign Finance Reform
This sure isn't the agenda that the "ex"-Republicans running against him are for. As he explains, his populist, grassroots campaign stands up to Big Pharma, insurance companies and the military industrial complex. Is this your kind of agenda? Kaniela doesn't take corporate contributions. The only way he's going to get his message out in a competitive primary-- filled with big money, establishment corporate shills-- is with the help of grassroots contributions. The ActBlue congressional thermometer on the right will take you right to a page where you can contribute to Kaniela's campaign. When Ro Khanna (D-CA) endorsed him, he explained that he was doing so "because Kaniela walks the walk to get money out of politics and fights for a new way forward. It's young, proven leaders like Kaniela who will shift paradigms on climate action, innovation, and building a future economy that leaves no one behind." Closer to home, Representative Sylvia Luke endorsed, in her own words, "because he is the only candidate who has unwaveringly stood up for equal rights and a woman's right to choose. He's someone who captures the spirit and essence of Hawaii. Kaniela is what Hawaii needs right now, and I ask you to join me in supporting him."
