Primary Election Wrap-Up: Just how progressive is Hawai‘i?
Last June, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pulled off an extraordinary feat. In her first electoral bid, the 28-year-old political newcomer defeated Joe Crowley, a well-established incumbent, in a Democratic primary election for New York’s 14th Congressional District (parts of the Bronx and Queens). The loss of Crowley, a high profile Democrat with decades of congressional experience, stunned […]

Go vote this weekend! This Saturday is Primary Election Day. It’s a biennial event in Maui County, and we only get to choose from an unrestrained field of local characters vying for the titles of mayor and governor every four years. It’s a magical time when a “bamboo water peace pipe” builder can share the […]
More bad news for people who like Earth: Plastics emit greenhouse gases
Last week, the scientific journal PLOS ONE published a study by researchers from the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology which revealed that several greenhouse gases are emitted as plastics degrade in the environment. That’s right: Plastic waste, which flows into oceans at a rate of 18 billion […]
MauiTime endorses Lynn DeCoite for state representative, Dist. 13 (Ha‘iku, Hana, Kaupo, Kipahulu, Nahiku, Pa‘ia, Kaho‘olawe, Lana‘i, Moloka‘i, Molokini) in 2018 Primary Election
Lynn DeCoite is running against John-Bull English, a political newcomer who has earned publicity for his upcycled campaign signs. We love the aesthetic, but don’t see enough of a reason in his background or vision to upset the incumbent Lynn DeCoite. DeCoite is a smart representative with ties to the community who has consistently supported […]
MauiTime endorses Tiare Lawrence for state representative, Dist. 12 (Spreckelsville, Pukalani, Makawao, Kula, Keokea, Ulupalakua, Kahului) in 2018 Primary Election
Since sign-waving technique did not factor into our endorsements, we back Tiare Lawrence. Lawrence has strong community support and ties that show she would bring effective representation to the people of her district. She has worked hard to stand up to corporate special interests, fighting consistently to ensure that pesticide regulation gets passed to protect […]
MauiTime endorses Tina Wildberger for state representative, Dist. 11 (Kihei, Wailea, Makena) in 2018 Primary Election
The race for Kaniela Ing’s seat pits Tina Wildberger against longtime political player Don Couch and newcomer Lee Myrick. We like both Couch and Myrick, but again it comes down to our perception of strength of conviction in a vision that we believe in. In our interviews, Tina Wildberger showed the greatest grasp of political […]
MauiTime endorses Kauanoe Batangan for state representative, Dist. 9 (Kahului, Pu‘unene, Old Sand Hills, Maui Lani) in 2018 Primary Election
Between Batangan and Justin Woodson (who did not respond to requests for an interview), we endorse Batangan. Kauanoe is a thoughtful and experienced candidate with ties to the community that we hope will make him an effective representative for District 9. Woodson is an appointee who has not done enough to show conviction in a […]
MauiTime endorses Justin Hughey for state representative, Dist. 8 (Kahakuloa, Waihe‘e, Waiehu, Puuohala, Wailuku, Waikapu) in 2018 Primary Election
We like all the candidates we walked story with, Hashimoto, Hughey, and Wagner, but Justin Hughey came across as the most focused candidate to aggressively push issues that we think are of tremendous importance. Hashimoto is a young, energetic appointee, but we worry that as Joe Souki’s replacement and longtime political insider he represents politics […]
