Our Weekend in Kapolei
May 18, 2012
This past weekend, myself, twelve volunteer canvassers and thirty volunteer sign wavers went out into Kapolei to meet our new neighbors in the first congressional district, and talk to our new constituents about the work that Colleen has done for Hawaii in Washington, D.C. We had a great response in Kapolei, and we can’t wait to get out into other neighborhoods in the district to keep the conversations going. In the meantime, check out a few pictures from the weekend below!

Walking into Kapolei
May 10, 2012
Our volunteers are hitting the ground in Kapolei this weekend, getting to know our new neighbors in CD1. Watch for us Friday afternoon as we sign wave in the area, and then on Saturday when we walk through the neighborhood to let people know how much Colleen has done for their community.
Kapolei will become a part of the First Congressional District in the 2012 election, but Colleen has done a lot for the area in the past. She supported the expansion of the University of Hawaii at West Oahu, helped the Hawaiian Civic Clubs develop their community center, and spend years as a key mover behind the new Judiciary Complex. There’s more, and our great volunteers will be out telling Kapolei all about it.
This is just the start of our grassroots ground game, so there will plenty more chances for you to come out and join us. We’d love to have you become a part of our fast-growing, highly motivated, and totally dedicated volunteers. Click here for more information. And keep your eyes open…we’ll be coming to your neighborhood soon!

On the Road
April 24, 2012
Not surprisingly, a lot of the work I do as the campaign’s Field Coordinator is done out in the community, coordinating volunteers who do things like canvas neighborhoods, sign wave, and generally go where the voters are to reach out and spread the word about Colleen’s campaign. Along with working with incredible volunteers, it gives me a chance to speak directly to the voters themselves.
I wish I could say that every person I meet supports Colleen and our campaign. A lot of them do, but some don’t. But one great thing about campaigning in Hawaii is that even when people don’t necessarily agree, they’re usually pretty polite about it.
In the coming weeks, you’ll be seeing more of our campaign volunteers in your neighborhood, delivering information about Colleen, waving at you from the side of the road, and joining you at community events. I hope you’ll feel free to come up and say hello or give us a quick honk of support. Of course, you can also join us as a volunteer and find out how fun and rewarding meeting your neighbors can be.
