This week, voters in Hawaiʻi will begin returning their ballots.
These core values, whether historical or not, do matter. The democratic machine will simply and mercilessly attack the candidate running with “ending corruption” as a central aspect of their campaign and thus likely will assure another victory for the party of corruption themselves. The next Governor of Hawaiʻi needs to be an individual with morals and values the people they serve will never have to worry about. Additionally, BJ Penn consistently references the importance of his “name recognition” in this election cycle to help garner support and votes. Like Duke Aiona, BJ Penn chose not to use this same “name recognition” in fighting for the liberty of Hawaiʻi’s people against the unlawful lockdowns and mandates. As partner of UFC Gym BJ Penn and owner of Penn Fitness and Training Center, Penn required its patrons to wear masks and social distance while exercising. He complied with the very policies then in 2020 while claiming to be opposed to the lockdowns today in 2022. Penn stated in a recent interview while campaigning for governor, “Your freedoms are always in jeopardy under these people…I’m here for the people, I’m here for their freedoms.” This begs the question, why did his “#jointhefight” movement conveniently surface after the lockdowns ended and when the election cycle began? I don’t believe this represents the strong stand for liberty that is required for the people of Hawaiʻi.
Heidi currently serves on the Honolulu City Council for District 2 and worked as a staff member for the previous Councilmember for 8 years. It has become ever-increasingly evident Hawaiʻi is plagued with political dishonesty and manipulation, which is why this year we need to vote out those that are part of the political system. As we all know, we are in the season of difficulty as a state and nation, which is why it’s so disturbing that Heidi, as a member of the council, approved a $220 million increase to the city budget and approved a pay raise for themselves and over 500 additional employees, which placed even heavier burdens on the state’s taxpayers. We need to be working towards making life financially easier on the people of Hawaiʻi, not harder.
As I have said many times before, I will work to lower taxes, decrease the cost of living, get the homeless off the streets and make it a priority to prove that faith in political leadership can be regained. I will be a Governor of and for the people. The people of Hawaiʻi will be my employers, I their employee. Every day, I will work to rebuild trust between Hawaiʻi’s citizens and those in political authority.
MAHALO.
Vote for Gary Cordery for Governor 2022
Gary Cordery is a servant leader. Hawai’i needs a governor who is willing to fight for the people: someone who honors others first, pursues the truth, and protects the liberty of all.
