Again, another exhilarating evening. The candidates forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters and American Association of University Women was a resounding success. So many thoughtful questions for the prosecutor candidates, Lincoln Ashida, Paul Dolan and Mitch Roth. And then the "speed" questioning for the County District 1 and 2 candidates was lively, quick paced and just plain fun.
One of the most exciting moments was to find out that the audience there truly listened to the one minute introductory speeches and asked probing questions about our statements. I especially loved the table full of young Honokaa High School graduates - educating themselves about the candidates, asking interesting questions and really listening to our answers.
Thank you voters for turning out, asking great questions, and your honest evaluation of the candidates. Thank you LWV and AAUW for giving us the opportunity to meet the community in a neutral setting. This is so much more meaningful than waving at voters as they whiz by at 55 miles an hour.
