How is my candidacy different and unique? Among other things,

1. I am the only candidate who has been willing to give in the candidacy if I can find better quality candidate.

2. I am the only candidate with specific COVID-19 Two track action plan, to control and/or eradicate in Hawaii; so, among other things, Keikis don’t have to wear mask at school.

Last 2 1/2 years of pandemic has revealed lots of flaws in our society.
Especially, pandemic management by the officials was utter failure; and they basically abandoned us since delta invasion. Sadly, Media have been silent and rather in cahoots especially with Josh Green who had caused mass casualties in delta floodgate.

In my Covid two track plan, although tightening our ports with more screening and tests is necessary at the same time, but to control within Hawaii, we want to test everyone altogether, perhaps two weekend days, Friday afternoon and Sunday morning. If not successful, we do it again the following weekends until we eradicate the virus for no case for about 10-14 days for Omicron.
This can be self reported all voluntarily thru mobile app, self isolated if needed, without requiring any lockdown.

2ndly, for travelers coming to the islands, we test them before boarding, and test again following morning after arrival.
If cannot be done before boarding, we test during flight, but mask mandate during the time and until testing in the following morning.

The protocol may be adjusted and changed accordingly as necessary.
And, these methods would become benchmarking and guidelines for possible future invasion by the other variants and microbes.

3. I am the only candidate with specific Media Reform plans. Among others, Journalists Labor Union and Media Mediation Commission for General public.

My plans totally guarantee Media’s 1st amendment, free speech and press.
(But, they may come in only when they make fake news.)

4. I am the only candidate who promote emotional growth among us; and also we want to implement emotional health curricula at our schools.

Hawaii is sick, and we need treatment. Especially, we need more healing from the pain that we have not been consciously aware.

5. I am the only candidate with much bigger picture with more specific plans, in pursuing self-sustainable economic growth.

We are facing stagflation due to pandemic; and boosting economy while diversifying to self-sustainable levels is necessary.
In that, we need to boost transportation; bringing back ferries, making roads like H4, H5 freeways , and connecting Kaena point.
If need quick revenue growth, we may want to bring Las Vegas casino to the islands, but not in Waikiki.
And, affordable housing may not be possible without sufficient revenues no matter how good plans are.

In order to reduce cost of living, we need to sufficiently grow our own foods, make our own goods, produce more cost-effective alternative energy like nuclear power.
As Jones Act alternative, we also want to build US port like in Jonston Island, so we reduce shipping cost to and from Western Pacific regions.

To control ever increasing house price, for example, we want to implement Aloha Score, in addition to FICO score, so non residents cannot buy Hawaii property only with money.
Plz, refer to my plan, Aloha dept and Aloha Court, as well.

We build our own Hawaii nation within Nation.
So, we become independent and interdependent with federal government.

In conclusion, so far, I haven’t found any candidate, who can do better, and also honor and carry on with my plans.

Plz support me, and vote for Richard Kim for your Governor.
Thank you very much.

Chamber of Commerce Hawaii called me and left voicemail regarding my recent fb post.
So, I sent this email back to them.
Note: Josh Green also (recently) blocked me from his OFFICIAL Lt Governor fb page.
But, as of May 31, 2022, 4:50pm, Josh Green unblocked me. (Now, I can see his fb official page as Lt Governor.) But, Josh Green blocked me again as of June 2, 2022.

“Tricia,
Thanks for reaching out to me again.

You probably did not like my recent fb post, since I claimed it’s voter suppression.

I understand the cancellation might have not been your original intention. But, after canceling the already rescheduled forum, if you (young professionals of your organization) selectively met with a candidate, specifically Josh Green, who had previously refused to attend your forum, plz how do you think I would feel?

As you may know, Media have been boycotting me and my candidacy for Governor, (especially because my Reform plans include Media Reform), by only metioning 3 candidates of their preferential choice, as if they are the only major candidates. Clearly, there exists conflict of interests and voter suppression.

I even requested my own debate to you on the subsequent email, especially because voters and your members have right to know the truth, especially intentional negligence that was committed by Josh Green, but you did not respond to me.

I hope you understand.

Richard Kim
Democratic candidate for Governor.”

Voter Suppression!
“Democratic Party of Hawaii and Media must show if they included my name on the polls; if so, they must reveal what my numbers are.
If zero, it proves that they did not include my name, since my Facebook followers have been consistently higher than that of Mrs. Cayetano throughout the campaign until now; (currently me 1,438, Mrs. Cayetano 971).
Otherwise, they must show why they did not include my name in the polls.
If so, it’s clear voter suppression, absolutely illegal.”

Among other things,

1. First, I would ask Media to Reform on their own.

2. I would encourage and help implement or form JOURNALISTS LABOR UNION, (if exists, then strengthen to have more independence in news making), (regardless whatever their contracts with their companies). In that way, the journalists may stand together against the companies’ manipulations, if any, and then they can be more likely (better) in control of their news and articles.

3. I would help implement a Media law, which would rate each Media, journalist, and their each news and article, just like health departments rating restaurants. (But, we would make sure and guarantee their freedom of press.)

4. I would help implement or make Civil Beat lose their non profit status, unless they reform on their own. Because, I have seen they have often produced bias and/or misinformation thru their news and articles, against public interests.

5. If and after Reform, I would help and see if Media can use government funds, according to their views and circulations, if and when they need financial help due to such Reform.

6. If TV stations report like in regular news interviews with officials (e.g. LG Green at Khon2), we require them to disclose their specific sponsor(s) in such (each) news segment at the bottom of their screen, conspicuously at the same time. (Reminder. We make sure and allow their freedom of speech and press.)

7. Media Mediation Commission (may) need to be established, preferably under the prospective, independent “Aloha Dept”, (or by the government, although not preferable). (More discussion may be needed in details)

The Commission would control and manage ratings of each media, journalist, and news article. They would receive any complaint of Media and their reports, and mediate, and further recommend, any corrections and/or sanctions, if necessary. (Only government can sanction them. And, if not yet, all journalists and media should require to have licenses.)
Such records should be a public record.

Note: The basic idea of having the Commission is to require (esp. Mass media) journalists to have and maintain the comparable or similar level of ethics as other professionals like doctors and lawyers.

The cases are really going up.
Plz, wear your masks (with N95 or KN95 levels), indoor (a must) and outdoor (crowded spaces).

It’s sad that the officials including Josh Green have already given up and abandoned us for a long time, since delta invasion last year.

Although not as deadly but much more infectious, the omicron variants will continue to hinder our lives and activities for some time, and further, probably more future variants may also likely, unless we reach herd immunity at the global level.
And, Hawaii may likely be one of the last places in the world to suffer this virus damage.

In fighting the virus, the timing may be very important; and so far, I have correctly (mostly) predicted the viral invasion and surge earlier than many other officials.
(Since we cannot disregard our economy, it may be a key for us to implement but titrate or adjust the necessary measures at proper time.)

I have two track plan for the virus management and control in Hawaii, although it may need to be adjusted accordingly depending on the situations. See the current plan at richardkimhawaii.com.

I promise I can definitely manage the virus much better than the current administrations.
Plz, vote for me as your next Governor.

“Hawaii was already sold, and so you are.
Very sad that young politician like you succumbed to Status Quo and Media, despite my repeated advice.
Media are now hyping your candidacy, after very much having attacked you when you were (probably) hesitant.
Plz, don’t divide Hawaii people more; it’s shame on you as if you work for all people’s interests.
And, resign from US Congress asap according to Article II, Section 7.”
