My campaign for Lieutenant Governor for Hawaii

Aloha people of Hawaii, I'm Rob BURNS, running for the position of Lieutenant Governor of Hawaii.  Friends ask me, "why would you run for a government position, you're NOT a politician nor do you need a job"?  Well, Hawaii is the only home I've ever known and I love the special people of Hawaii. I am a common-sense businessman and self-starter, "do it now", kind of guy, and can do what's right for Hawaii.  Besides that, I have the reputation to not only see problems but have sensible solutions and a team to support me. I grew up in Kailua and started shaping surfboards in my garage before starting LOCAL MOTION, a surf  lifestyle company. (see Bio). I attended public schools, though my family attended Kamehameha School.

I have friends with children, most of which are struggling to stay in Hawaii, wondering if they should even keep trying.  It's a very sad situation, and troubles me, enough to throw in my hat to be a part of the change necessary.  Hawaii has gone from being  the best at Statehood to one of the worst States in the U.S. in most categories, with 69% of Hawaii residents being financially unhealthy. The high cost of living, housing and rentals, poor school results, bad road quality, and no accountability for high cost boondoggles such as the rail project, land use and corruption, poor Covid Lockdown results, the list goes on and on: the regulations, slow permitting, worst business climate. Again, I'm not a politician, and will make better common sense decisions for us, the ones you would make if you were asked. The government has not been good for the people of Hawaii and the lack of balance will be Hawaii's downfall, with the reoccurring theme of Blue States being the worst run States in the U.S.

Hawaii works for the party, not the people and "It's Time" Hawaii, to change it this election cycle.
