Letter: Candidates must focus on substance, not image
Voters know the problems to be solved, therefore incumbent candidates should list their accomplishments in solving these problems. They had a chance to do something, but many problems still exist. Incumbents have cash and print brochures with more pictures than messages or information. List the bills that you initiated or help to pass.
New candidates should list their solutions in lieu of just reminding voters of the issue. Walk in the neighborhood and speak to the voters.
To solve Hawaii problems, we need elected officials who are sincere, not obligated to donors and not just full-time politicians. Candidates, tell us your solutions.
